In this paper we propose shrinkage estimators which shrink the periodic autoregressive parameters to a common value determined by the data.

Most existing studies assume that structural parameters are either fixed or change abruptly over time. This study considers estimating and testing for smooth structural changes in moment condition models where the data-generating process is locally stationary. A novel local generalized method of moments estimator and its boundary-corrected counterpart are proposed to estimate the smoothly changing parameters. Consistency and asymptotic normality are established, and an optimal weighting matrix and its consistent estimator are obtained. Moreover, we propose a consistent test to detect both smooth changes and abrupt breaks, as well as a consistent test for a parametric functional form of time-varying parameters. The tests are asymptotically pivotal and do not require prior information about the alternatives. Monte Carlo simulation studies show that the proposed estimators and tests have superior finite-sample performance.

The proposed class of estimators is based on a Gaussian quasi-likelihood function and it relies on the specification of a parametric pseudo-variance that can contain parametric restrictions with respect to the conditional expectation. The specification of the pseudo-variance and the parametric restrictions follow naturally in observation-driven models with bounds in the support of the observable process, such as count processes and double-bounded time series. We derive the asymptotic properties of the estimators and a validity test for the parameter restrictions. We show that the results remain valid irrespective of the correct specification of the pseudo-variance. The key advantage of the restricted estimators is that they can achieve higher efficiency compared to alternative quasi-likelihood methods that are available in the literature. Furthermore, the testing approach can be used to build specification tests for parametric time series models.
