23 Model Asymptotics Inference Conclusion Consistency Convergence Rates Asymptotic Distributions Asymptotic Distribution V Condition (f ) serves to determine the rate for σ n. When the data are i.i.d. and the regressors possess a moment generating function, the conditions can be weakened to log (n) nσ 2 n 0, since α mn = 0 and we can set m n = 1 in this case. Although condition (e) provides permissible rates for the bandwidth selection, it may not be sharp.
24 Model Asymptotics Inference Conclusion Consistency Convergence Rates Asymptotic Distributions Asymptotic Distribution VI Let B be the limit Brownian motion of the partial sum process of x t, whose covariance matrix is Ω, and [ K σv 2 = E (1) 2 ( ) ] X 2 t 1 D 0 u t + K (1) 2 ( X t 1 D 0 D ) 2 0X t 1 zt 1 = γ 0 f (γ 0 ) 2 σ 2 q= K (1) (0) E ( X t 1D 0 D 0X t 1 z t 1 = γ 0 ) f (γ0 ), where K (i) is the i-th derivative of K, K (1) (s) = K (1) (s) (1 {s > 0} K (s)), and g 2 2 = ( g 2) 2

26 Model Asymptotics Inference Conclusion Consistency Convergence Rates Asymptotic Distributions Two-step Estimation I Corollary ( ) Let ˆγ (β) be the smoothed estimator of γ when β is given. Then, ˆγ ˆβ has ( ) the same asymptotic distribution as that of ˆγ (β 0 ), which is N 0, σ2 v. σq 4 Thus, we do not need to estimate the long-run variance for the inference for γ. ( Suppose that β n = β + O ) p n 1. For example, β n can be obtained from the simple OLS of the first element of x t to the other elements of x t, as in Engle-Granger procedure. Note that, by multipying β 0 both sides of the model { A x t = X t 1 (β) + u t, if z t 1 (β) γ (A + D) X t 1 (β) + u t, if z t 1 (β) > γ,
27 Model Asymptotics Inference Conclusion Consistency Convergence Rates Asymptotic Distributions Two-step Estimation II we obtain a threshold autoregressive process for z t = x tβ 0 { a z t = 0 z t 1 + a 1 z t u t, if z t 1 γ (a 0 + d 0 ) z t 1 + (a 1 + d 1 ) z t u t, if z t 1 > γ But, the plug-in estimate ˆα (β n ) and ˆδ (β n ) do not have the same asymptotic distribution as ˆα (β 0 ) and ˆδ (β 0 ). To treat the estimate β n as the true value β 0, we first need 1 x t k K t 1 (β n, γ n ) x n t 1 (β n β 0 ) = o p (1) t
28 Model Asymptotics Inference Conclusion Consistency Convergence Rates Asymptotic Distributions Two-step Estimation III In case ( ) of Ez t = 0, we can still retain the Normality by replacing the z t 1 β with ( ( ) z t 1 β = x t 1 β = x t 1 1 n ) x s 1 β, for any n-consistent β, as in de Jong (2001). It is worth noting, however, that the asymptotic variance increases by doing this. s

30 Inference I Model Asymptotics Inference Conclusion Asymptotic Variance Estimation: long-run covariance matrix Ω : see Andrews (1991) for example. variance of threshold estimate (σ v and σ q) : Let ˆτ t = 1 (1) X t 1 ˆβ DK t 1 ˆβ, ˆγ û t, (1) σn where û t is the regression residual, and let ˆσ 2 v = 1 n X t ˆτ t 2, and ˆσ q 2 = ˆθ σn n Qn22, where Q n22 is the diagonal element corresponding to γ of the second derivative of S n. Refer to and Linton (2005). variance of slope estimate: the same as linear regression. We do not have to estimate the density and conditional expectation by a nonparametric method. Hansen (2000) uses a nonparametric method to estimate the asymptotic variance; the introduction of a smoothing parameter is necessary.
31 Model Asymptotics Inference Conclusion Inference II Testing for two thresholds: To test the null of one threshold against two threshold, we can extend the SupLM test statistic of Hansen and (2002) that examines the null of no threshold. Due to the fast convergence rate of the least squares estimator of β and γ, we can treat the estimated β and γ as if known. For the p-value, the fixed regressor bootstrap and residual bootstrap can be employed as described there.

33 Model Asymptotics Inference Conclusion Conclusion The paper establishes the consistency and convergence rates of the LSE and SLSE of the threshold vector error correction model. In particular, The LSE of the cointegrating vector estimate converges extremely fast. This validates a two-step estimation, in which the cointegrating vector is first estimated by LS and the other short-run parameters by SLS. The LSE of the slope is asymptotically not affected by the estimation of the other parameters The limit distribution of the SLSE is derived and thus providing a way of inference for the cointegrating vector. Multiple-Regime Threshold: We can estimate the thresholds simultaneously or sequentially. Hansen (1999) and Bai and Perron (1998). More than one cointegrating relation
