Abstract

This paper examines the relative performance of some popular nonlinearity tests when applied to time series generated by Markov switching autoregressive models. The nonlinearity tests considered include RESET-type tests, the Keenan test, the Tsay test, the McLeod--Li test, the BDS test, the White dynamic information matrix test, and the neural network test. Applications to economic time series are also considered.
