It is shown that the KPSS test for stationarity may be applied without change to regressions with seasonal dummies. In particular, the limit distribution of the KPSS statistic is the same under both the null and alternative hypotheses whether or not seasonal dummies are used

A recursive test procedure is suggested that provides a mechanism for testing explosive behavior, date-stamping the origination and collapse of economic exuberance, and providing valid confidence intervals for explosive growth rates. The method involves the recursive implementation of a...

This paper proposes an Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) coefficient test for detecting the presence of a unit root in autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models of unknown order. Although the limit distribution of the coefficient estimate depends on nui-sance parameters, a simple transformation...
