Deterministic versus stochastic seasonal fractional integration and structural breaks
This paper considers a general model which allows for both deterministic and stochastic forms of seasonality, including fractional (stationary and nonstationary) orders of integration, and also incorporating endogenously determined structural breaks. Monte Carlo analysis shows that the suggested procedure performs well even in small samples, accurately capturing the seasonal properties of the s...
متن کاملDetection of structural breaks in linear dynamic panel data models
This paper develops a method for testing for the presence of a single structural break in dynamic panel data models with a multi-factor error structure. The test statistic is developed by combining a modified version of the GMM approach of Robertson and Sarafidis (2015) with the testing procedure of De Wachter and Tzavalis (2012). We focus on the case where N is large and T fixed. The asymptoti...
متن کاملReal time detection of structural breaks in GARCH models
A sequential Monte Carlo method for estimating GARCH models subject to an unknown number of structural breaks is proposed. Particle filtering techniques allow for fast and efficient updates of posterior quantities and forecasts in real time. The method conveniently deals with the path dependence problem that arises in these types of models. The performance of the method is shown to work well us...
متن کاملStochastic mortality models: an infinite-dimensional approach
Demographic projections of future mortality rates involve a high level of uncertainty and require stochastic mortality models. The current paper investigates forward mortality models driven by a (possibly infinite dimensional) Wiener process and a compensated Poisson random measure. A major innovation of the paper is the introduction of a family of processes called forward mortality improvement...
متن کاملDebilitation's aftermath: stochastic process models of mortality.
A stochastic differential equation model is developed to clarify the interaction of debilitation, recuperation, selection, and aging. The model yields various insights about the lingering mortality consequences of disasters such as wars, famines, and epidemics that may weaken the survivors. A key result is that debilitation and selection are interdependent: debilitation that increases popula...
