Abstract:
In this paper we consider the hypothesis that particular short-run co-movements indicationg that shocks have similar responses might only exist for a particular regime and not for the whole sample. A two-step procedure is set up to test and estimate the multi-regime common cyclical feature. This approach is illustrated by analyzing the stability of the McCallum''s (1994) monetary policy reaction function for Danish data.
