The asymptotic power envelope is derived for point-optimal tests of a unit root in the autoregressive representation of a Gaussian time series under various trend specifications. We propose a family of tests whose asymptotic power functions are tangent to the power envelope at one point and are never far below the envelope. When the series has no deterministic component, some previously proposed tests are shown to be asymptotically equivalent to members of this family. When the series has an…

Testing for unit root processes in random coefficient autoregressive models
This paper proposes new tests for simple unit root and unit root with a possibly nonzero drift processes, in the context of a random coefficient autoregressive model. The asymptotic distributions of…
Robust Inference for Near-Unit Root Processes with Time-Varying Error Variances
The autoregressive Cauchy estimator uses the sign of the first lag as instrumental variable (IV); under independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) errors, the resulting IV t-type statistic is…
TESTING FOR UNIT ROOTS IN AUTOREGRESSIONS WITH MULTIPLE LEVEL SHIFTS
The asymptotic distributions of augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) unit root tests for autoregressive processes with a unit or near-unit root are discussed in the presence of multiple stochastic level…
A POWERFUL TEST OF THE AUTOREGRESSIVE UNIT ROOT HYPOTHESIS BASED ON A TUNING PARAMETER FREE STATISTIC
This paper presents a family of simple nonparametric unit root tests indexed by one parameter, d, and containing the Breitung (2002, Journal of Econometrics 108, 342–363) test as the special case d =…

A discussion on power of ADF F-test with unexpected initial value
This article attempts to show when the series is a stationary autoregressive process, of which, the initial value is far from the deterministic trend, power of Augmented Dickey-Fuller(ADF) F-test is…
UNIT ROOT INFERENCE FOR NON-STATIONARY LINEAR PROCESSES DRIVEN BY INFINITE VARIANCE INNOVATIONS
The contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, we derive the asymptotic null distribution of the familiar augmented Dickey-Fuller [ADF] statistics in the case where the shocks follow a linear…
Improved Likelihood Ratio Tests for Cointegration Rank in the VAR Model
We suggest improved tests for cointegration rank in the vector autoregressive (VAR) model and develop asymptotic distribution theory and local power results. The tests are (quasi-)likelihood ratio…
Semiparametrically Point-Optimal Hybrid Rank Tests for Unit Roots
We propose a new class of unit root tests that exploits invariance properties in the Locally Asymptotically Brownian Functional limit experiment associated to the unit root model. The invariance…
