Abstract:
In this paper, we consider the mildly explosive autoregression yt=ρnyt−1+ut, 1≤t≤n, where ρn=1+c/nν, c>0, ν∈(0,1), and u1,…,un are arithmetically α-mixing errors. Under some weak conditions, such as Eu1=0, E|u1|4+δ<∞ for some δ>0 and mixing coefficients α(n)=O(n−(2+8/δ)), the Cauchy limiting distribution is established for the least squares (LS) estimator ρ^n of ρn, which extends the cases of independent errors and geometrically α-mixing errors. Some simulations for ρn, such as the empirical probability of the confidence interval and the empirical density, are presented to illustrate the Cauchy limiting distribution, which have good finite sample performances. In addition, we use the Cauchy limiting distribution of the LS estimator ρ^n to illustrate real data from the NASDAQ composite index from April 2011 to April 2021.

Random Variables
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
For example, let X = the...
