The article proposes a new approach for estimation of the business cycle component of the Russian GDP. At the first step, the non-stationary component consisting of a deterministic trend with structural breaks, and components characterizing the long-run impact of oil prices on the Russian...

This paper proposes the extension of the Hasza and Fuller (1979) test for double unit roots based on GLS-detrending. The limiting distribution of this test is obtained under local to unity representation and coincides with the distribution of the conventional test in the absence of a...

In this paper we extend the stationarity test proposed by Kurozumi and Tanaka (2010) for reducing size distortion with one structural break. We find the bias up to the order of 1/T for four types of models containing structural breaks. The simulations on finite samples show a reduction of size...

In this paper we extend the stationarity test proposed by Kurozumi and Tanaka (2010) to reduce size distortion with one structural break in data generating process. We nd the bias up to the order of 1=T for four types of models containing structural breaks. Simulations on fininite samples show a...

In this paperwe investigate the behavior of stationarity tests proposed by Muller (2005) and Harris et al. (2007) with uncertainty over the trend and/or initial condition. As dierent tests are e cient for dierent magnitudes of local trend and initial condition, following Harvey et al. (2012) we...
