Abstract: In this work, we propose a generalization of the classical Markov-switching ARMA models to the periodic time-varying case. Specifically, we propose a Markov-switching periodic ARMA (MS-PARMA) model. In addition of capturing regime switching often encountered during the study of many economic time series, this new model also captures the periodicity feature in the autocorrelation structure. We first provide some probabilistic properties of this class of models, namely the strict periodic stationarity and the existence of higher-order moments. We thus propose a procedure for computing the autocovariance function where we show that the autocovariances of the MS-PARMA model satisfy a system of equations similar to the PARMA Yule–Walker equations. We propose also an easily implemented algorithm which can be used to obtain parameter estimates for the MS-PARMA model. Finally, a simulation study of the performance of the proposed estimation method is provided.
