Applied Economics Letters, 2015, vol. 22, issue 8, 628-631

Abstract: We explore the persistence of the divorce rates in OECD countries. We provide evidence to reject the null hypothesis of a unit root and propose that changes in divorce rates are nonlinear time series processes that could be modelled by stationary threshold autoregressive (TAR) or smooth transition autoregressive (STAR) models.
