''A complementary test for the KPSS test with an application to the US Dollar/Euro exchange rate''
( 2004, Vol. 3 No.4 )
 
 
This paper shows by simulation experiments some failures of the KPSS test when the source of the nonstationarity is explained by an unconditional volatility shift. So, a complementary test is proposed. An application to the US Dollar/Euro exchange rate reveals an instability in the unconditional volatility.
