Random coefficient autoregression; WLS estimator; Randomised test
We propose a test to discern between an ordinary autoregressive model, and a random coefficient one. To this end, we develop a full-fledged estimation theory for the variances of the idiosyncratic innovation and of the random coefficient, based on a two-stage WLS approach. Our results hold irrespective of whether the series is stationary or nonstationary, and, as an immediate result, they afford the construction of a test for relevant randomness. Further, building on these results, we develop a randomised test statistic for the null that the coefficient is non-random, as opposed to the alternative of a standard RCA(1) model. Monte Carlo evidence shows that the test has the correct size and very good power for all cases considered. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
