Regression with bai-perron break
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 12:05 am
When I run regressions with Bai-Perron global breaks, I get, for instance, two coefficients for a variable if there is one break. The coefficient in the second period is the value on top of the coefficient in the 1st period (as it would be if we just multiplied the variable by a dummy) or is it the total value for that period?
In many cases I have a negative coefficient in the 1st period and a positive coefficient in the 2nd period of similar magnitude, both significant. This could mean that the total effect in the 2nd period is zero or that indeed it is positive.
E.g. y= a+b1*x1+b2*x1*d+e, d = 1 if we are in 2nd period or d=0 if we are in the 1st period.
my question is whether the coefficient that eviews reports for the 2nd period is b2+b1 (the total effect for the 2nd effect) or simply b2 (the effect on top of b1).
Thanks.
