Covariate unit root tests with good size and power
The selection of the truncation lag for covariate unit root tests is analyzed using Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown that standard information criteria such as the BIC or the AIC can result in tests with large size distortions. Modified information criteria can be used to construct tests with good size and power. An empirical illustration is provided.
متن کاملLag Length Selection and the Construction of Unit Root Tests with Good Size and Power
It is widely known that when there are errors with a moving-average root close to −1, a high order augmented autoregression is necessary for unit root tests to have good size, but that information criteria such as the AIC and the BIC tend to select a truncation lag (k) that is very small. We consider a class of Modified Information Criteria (MIC) with a penalty factor that is sample dependent. ...
متن کاملUnit Root Tests with Wavelets
This paper develops a wavelet (spectral) approach to testing the presence of a unit root in a stochastic process. The wavelet approach is appealing, since it is based directly on the different behavior of the spectra of a unit root process and that of a short memory stationary process. By decomposing the variance (energy) of the underlying process into the variance of its low frequency componen...
متن کاملPanel unit root tests of firm size and its growth
This paper investigates Gibrat’s law by using a panel unit root test, as a panel unit root can increase power in contrast to a conventional individual ADF test. At first this paper uses the panel unit root test to testify Gibrat’s law under independent and identical distribution, with the test results rejecting the null hypothesis of Gibrat’s law. Independent and identical distributions are not...
متن کاملSize and power of two recent unit root tests that allow for structural breaks
This paper examines the properties of the two recent structural break unit root tests developed in Harvey, Leybourne and Taylor (2013) and Narayan and Popp (2010). The properties are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations in an environment where two trend breaks of small to large magnitudes are present. We find that the Harvey, Leybourne and Taylor (2013) test has superior size and power prope...
