Title:Structural Vector Autoregressions with Nonnormal Residuals
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; LUETKEPOHL, HelmutDate:2010Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:In structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) modeling, sometimes the identifying restrictions are insufficient for a unique specification of all shocks. In this paper it is pointed out that specific distributional assumptions ...
Title:Structural Vector Autoregressions with Markov Switching
Author(s):LUETKEPOHL, Helmut; LANNE, Markku; MACIEJOWSKA, KatarzynaDate:2010Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:It is argued that in structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) analysis a Markov regime switching (MS) property can be exploited to identify shocks if the reduced form error covariance matrix varies across states. The model ...
Title:Why Is It So Difficult to Uncover the Risk-Return Tradeoff in Stock Returns?
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; SAIKKONEN, PenttiDate:2006Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:The low power of the standard Wald test in a GARCH-in-Mean model with an unnecessary intercept is shown to explain the apparent absence of a risk-return tradeoff in stocks. The importance of this finding is illustrated ...
Title:Test Procedures for Unit Roots in Time Series with Level Shifts at Unknown Time
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut; SAIKKONEN, PenttiDate:2003Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:Two types of unit root tests which accommodate a structural level shift at a known point in time are extended to the situation where the break date is unknown. It is shown that for any estimator for the break date the tests ...
Title:Unit Root Tests for Time Series with Level Shifts: A Comparison of Different Proposals
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; LUETKEPOHL, HelmutDate:2002Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:A number of unit root tests which accommodate a deterministic level shift at a known point in time are compared in a Monte Carlo study. The tests differ in the way they treat the deterministic term of the DGP. It turns out ...
Title:Comparison of Unit Root Tests for Time Series with Level Shifts
Author(s):LANNE, Markku; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut; SAIKKONEN, PenttiDate:2002Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:Unit root tests are considered for time series which have a level shift at a known point in time. The shift can have a very general nonlinear form, and additional deterministic mean and trend terms are allowed for. Prior ...
