interpretation of Gregory Hansen structural break

Postby Pratik » Fri Jul 15, 2011 5:15 am

I am using eviews 6.0 and downloaded the subroutine to carry out Gregory-Hansen procedure for testing cointegration in the

case of regime shifts. The output of the subroutine consists of a ghz table and a ghc equation.I am using the ADF test

procedure and the ghc table provides the t-stat which I am comparing with the value provided in tha table 1 of the

Gregory-Hansen paper to decide whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. the ghc equation provides the coefficient

of the estimated equation.
In many cases, the null is getting rejected which means that there is cointegration if the structural break is accounted

for. But when i look at the equation, the coefficients of the dummy variables are insignificant which suggests that there

is no structural break in the equation.

Please help me to interprete the result properly.
