Stationarity testing under nonlinear models. Some asymptotic results

Abstract

Stationarity testing for nonlinear time series models which include several smooth trend components with (possibly) unknown parameters is considered. A pseudo‐Lagrange multiplier stationarity test is proposed and its asymptotic behaviour is derived. The limiting null distribution generally depends on the unknown parameters of the model. A bootstrap approach permits this problem to be circumvented and consistency of the bootstrapped test is obtained. The theoretical analysis is complemented with a simulation study which allows us to check the performance of the test in finite samples. The article ends with an empirical application.
