Smooth transitions, asymmetric adjustment and unit roots

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to develop a unit root test that takes into account two sources of nonlinearites in data, i.e. asymmetric speed of mean reversion and structural changes. The asymmetric speed of mean reversion is modelled by means of a exponential smooth transition autoregression (ESTAR) function for the autoregressive parameter, whereas structural changes are approximated by a smooth transition in the deterministic components. We find that the proposed test performs well in terms of size and power, in… Show more

“…Table 2 shows that, except for Australia and Finland, some of the p-values of these nonlinear tests are smaller than the 10% significance level or better, indicating that the current account-GDP ratios of these countries have nonlinear property. 10 7 In an independent study, Cuestas and Ordóñez (2012) also developed a unit root test that takes into account two sources of nonlinearities, i.e., asymmetric speed of mean reversion and structural changes. 8 Readers are referred to Sollis (2009) for detailed discussion.…”

“…The main idea behind of these tests is that nonlinearities can be present in time series as an asymmetric speed of mean reversion and autoregressive parameter varies depending upon the values of a variable. This nonlinear behavior implies that there is a central regime where the series behave as a unit root whereas for values outside the central regime, the variable tends to revert to the equilibrium (Cuestas and Ordóñez, 2014).…”

“…Uygulanan doğrusal olmayan birim kök yaklaşımlar-dan ilk üçü yapısal değişmeyi yumuşak geçiş şeklinde modelleyen Kapetanios, Shin ve Snell (2003, KSS), Kruse (2010) ve Leybourne, Newbold ve Vougas (1998, LNV) tarafından önerilen yaklaşımlardır. Bu çalışmada uygulanan diğer doğrusal olmayan birim kök testleri ise yapısal değişmenin yanı sıra asimetrik intibaka da izin veren Sollis (2004) ve Cuestas ve Ordóñez (2012) yöntemleridir. Asimetrik intibaka izin veren test sonuçları Rusya için PPP geçerliliğini desteklemektedir.…”

“…Bu testlerde rejim değişikliğinin geçişin orta noktasına göre simetrik olduğu varsayılmaktadır Sollis (2004). veCuestas ve Ordóñez (2012) testleri ise bu varsayım kaldırılmakta ve yapısal değişmenin yanı sıra asimetrik intibaka da izin verilmektedir. Doğrusal ADF ile doğrusal dışılığı dikkate alan KSS, Kruse (2011) ve LNV birim kök testlerine ait test sonuçları ruble RER serisinin durağan olmadığını gösterir.…”
