  1. By: Davidson, James; Sibbertsen, Philipp
    Abstract: This paper proposes simple Hausman-type tests to check for bias in the log-periodogram regression of a time series believed to be long memory. The statistics are asymptotically standard normal on the null hypothesis that no bias is present, and the tests are consistent. The use of the tests in conjunction with tests of significance of the long memory parameter is illustrated by Monte Carlo experiments.

  2. By: Sibbertsen, Philipp; Krämer, Walter
    Abstract: We show that the power of the KPSS-test against integration, as measured by divergence rates of the test statistic under the alternative, remains the same when residuals from an OLS-regression rather than true observations are used. The divergence rate is independent of the order of integration of the cointegrating regressors which are allowed to be I(1 + dX) in our set up.

  3. By: Mehmet Dalkir (University of Kansas)
    Abstract: The method proposed in this chapter is making use of the bispectrum transformation to estimate the level of integration of a fractionally integrated time series. Bispectrum ransformation transforms the series into a two dimensional frequency space, and thus has higher information content compared to the Geweke-Porter-Hudak method. The bispectrum method is an alternative to the recently proposed wavelet method that transforms the original series into time-frequency (or time-scale) space.
    Keywords: Bispectrum, frequency domain, estimation, long memory
