In this article, we describe and implement the local Whittle and exact local Whittle estimators of the order of fractional integration of a time series.

We develop a test, based on the Lagrange multiplier [LM] testing principle, for the value of the long memory parameter of a univariate time series that is composed of a fractionally integrated shock around a potentially broken deterministic trend. Our proposed test is constructed from data which are de-trended allowing for a trend break whose (unknown) location is estimated by a standard residual sum of squares estimator applied either to the levels or first differences of the data, depending on the value specified for the long memory parameter under the null hypothesis. We demonstrate that the resulting LM-type statistic has a standard limiting null chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom, and attains the same asymptotic local power function as an infeasible LM test based on the true shocks. Our proposed test therefore attains the same asymptotic local optimality properties as an oracle LM test in both the trend break and no trend break environments. Moreover, this asymptotic local power function does not alter between the break and no break cases and so there is no loss in asymptotic local power from allowing for a trend break at an unknown point in the sample, even in the case where no break is present. We also report the results from a Monte Carlo study into the finite-sample behaviour of our proposed test.

This article investigates the degree of persistence in the international monthly tourist time series in Spain using long memory (fractional integration) techniques. Our findings can be summarized as follows. The two standard hypotheses of integer degrees of differentiation, i.e., the I(0) and the I(1) behaviour, are clearly rejected. The series is found to be I(d) with a value of d in the interval (0.421, 0.780) thus implying long memory behaviour and mean reverting behaviour. However, if a structural break is considered, it takes place at May 2007, and then, the two subsamples present orders of integration which are above 1 and thus rejecting the mean reverting hypothesis.

AbstractThis paper examines the relationship between the logarithms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in China by applying fractional integration and cointegration methods. These are more general than the standard methods based on the dichotomy between stationary and non-stationary series, allow for a much wider variety of dynamic processes, and provide information about the persistence and long-memory properties of the series and thus on whether or not the effects of shocks are long-lived. The univariate results indicate that the two series are highly persistent, their orders of integration being around 2, whilst the cointegration tests (using both standard and fractional techniques) imply that there exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between the two variables in first differences, i.e. their growth rates are linked together in the long run. This suggests the need for environmental policies aimed at reducing emissions during periods of economic growth.

The present paper focuses on analyzing the volatility dynamics of wheat commodity based on the presence of long memory. The paper utilizes several econometric tests to identify the presence and magnitude of the fractional difference parameter. Fractional GARCH models, namely FIGARCH and FIEGARCH, are employed to examine the long memory property. Twenty years of wheat daily price data were used to study the long-range dependence. The results reveal that fractional integration is found in the daily wheat price return series. Overall, the FIGARCH model seems a better fit, in describing the time-varying volatility of the commodity adequately, compared to the FIEGARCH model. Food price shocks are likely to persist for a long time for wheat, resulting in higher market risk for producers and increased purchasing costs for consumers.

In this paper, we empirically examine the volatility process of Korean stock market returns using the KOSPI200. To investigate the property of the process, we use the FIGARCH (Fractionally Integrated GARCH) model that includes GARCH and 1GARCH processes as special cases. Since the FIGARCH model allows fractional integration order, it can detect hyperbolically decaying volatility processes with cannot be explained by existing models with integer integration order. The result shows that the KOSPI200 exhibits long-term dependencies. To investigate the robustness of the obtained result, we analyze the time and cross-sectional aggregation effect using weekly data and individual stock returns that the KOSPI200 is comprised of. The long memory property of the KOSPI200 does not seem to be spuriously induced by aggregation.
