A New Unit Root Test against Asymmetric ESTAR Nonlinearity with Smooth Breaks
T his paper proposes a new unit root test against the alternative of symmetric or asymmetric exponential smooth transition autoregressive (AESTAR) nonlinearity that accounts for multiple smooth breaks. We provide small sample properties which indicate the test statistics have good empirical size and power. Also, we compared small sample properties of the test statistics with Christop...
متن کاملExplaining Asymmetric Price Adjustment
In an in nite horizon model with stochastic costs, moderate ination, costly price adjustment, and optimal price setting, we demonstrate that individual price reductions will be larger but less frequent than price increases. With positive ination, aggregate prices are more responsive to cost increases than to cost decreases, and a calibrated version of the model ts well the magnitude of downw...
متن کاملGranger Causality and Unit Roots
The asymptotic behavior of the Granger-causality test under stochastic nonstationarity is studied. Our results confirm that the inference drawn from the test is not reliable when the series are integrated to the first order. In the presence of deterministic components, the test statistic diverges, eventually rejecting the null hypothesis, even when the series are independent of each other. More...
متن کاملUnit Roots and Structural Breaks
This special issue deals with problems related to unit roots and structural change, and the interplay between the two. The research agenda dealing with these topics have proven to be of importance for devising procedures that are reliable for inference and forecasting. Several important contributions have been made. Still, there is scope for improvements and analyses of the properties of existi...
متن کاملInflation an Asymmetric Price Adjustment
This paper uses a unique micro data set to test for the presence of price asymmetries at the firm level. We find that firm pricing is indeed asymmetric, as Tobin (1972) suggested long ago. Moreover, there is strong evidence to support Ball and Mankiw's (1994) suggestion that firm price asymmetry is dependent on inflation. However, Ball and Mankiw's theory seems to hold better for changes in cos...
