Nonlinear Zivot-Andrews Unit Root Test
The Nonlinear Zivot-Andrews test extends the classical Zivot-Andrews structural-break unit root test by embedding smooth-transition nonlinear adjustment into the test regression. It jointly searches for an endogenous structural break and allows the speed of mean-reversion to vary with distance from the attractor, producing more power against nonlinear stationary alternatives than either test alone.
