Modelling autoregressive processes with a shifting mean

Timo Teräsvirta and Andres Gonzalez

No 3230, Borradores de Economia from Banco de la Republica

Abstract: This paper contains a nonlinear, nonstationary autoregressive model whose intercept changes deterministically over time. The intercept is a flexible function of time, and its construction bears some resemblance to neural network models. A modelling technique, modified from one for single hidden-layer neural network models, is developed for specification and estimation of the model. Its performance is investigated by simulation and further illustrated by two applications to macroeconomic time series.
