Abstract
We propose a CUSUM type test for breaks in a fractional cointegration model. The test can be used to detect a break in the cointegrating vector and potentially for a break in the degree of integration. We establish the limiting distribution using different representations of stochastic integrals, which depend on the combined degree of integration of the series. Also, we prove consistency of the test under a break in the parameter. In a Monte-Carlo simulation we find good size and power levels for most combinations of fractional integration.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
