Testing for seasonal unit roots in monthly panels of time series
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of testing for seasonal unit roots in monthly panel data. To this aim, we generalize the quarterly CHEGY test to the monthly case. This parametric test is contrasted with a new nonparametric test, which is the panel counterpart to the univariate RURS test that relies on counting extrema in time series. All methods are applied to an empirical data set on tourism in Austrian provinces. The power properties of the tests are evaluated in simulation experiments that are tuned to the tourism data. JEL Codes: C12, C14, C23.

Financial support from ESRC grant number L116251013, Macroeconomic Modelling and Policy Analysis in a Changing Word is gratefully acknowledged. The usual disclaimer applies. Seasonal roots can help to explain the seasonal fluctuations in macroeconomic time series. In this paper we concentrate on monthly data and look at different versions of Robinson's (1994) tests for testing unit roots and ot...
متن کاملThe Seasonal KPSS Test: Examining Possible Applications with Monthly Data and Additional Deterministic Terms
The literature has been notably less definitive in distinguishing between finite sample studies of seasonal stationarity than in seasonal unit root tests. Although the use of seasonal stationarity and unit root tests is advised to determine correctly the most appropriate form of the trend in a seasonal time series, such a use is rarely noted in the relevant studies on this topic. Recently, the ...
متن کاملStationarity Testing in High-Frequency Seasonal Time Series
Deciding whether seasonality is of a stochastic nature, and thus slowly changing over time, or deterministic and thus repeating in the same way each season can have a substantial impact on forecast accuracy. Tests for stochastic seasonality, called seasonal unit root tests, have been developed for certain common seasonal periods, like 12 (monthly data) 4 and 2, but until now have not been avail...

Time series quite often show patterns that repeat periodically. Monthly retail sales provide a good example. If the seasonality is very regular, seasonal dummy variables can be used to give, for example, a monthly effect for each month. With this approach, the January effect is assumed to be the same regardless of the year. Seasonal ARMA error terms can be added to make some local modifications...

INTRODUCTION Hydrologic drought in the sense of deficient river flow is defined as the periods that river flow does not meet the needs of planned programs for system management. Drought is generally considered as periods with insignificant precipitation, soil moisture and water resources for sustaining and supplying the socioeconomic activities of a region. Thus, it is difficult to give a univ...
