Resumo	Structural Break OLS extends ordinary least squares to allow regression coefficients to shift at one or more breakpoints in time or across regimes. Rather than forcing a single coefficient vector across the entire sample, the model partitions the data and estimates a separate OLS regression within each segment, making it appropriate when economic relationships are suspected to change due to policy shifts, crises, or other structural events.	Structural Break GLS combines Generalized Least Squares estimation with explicit allowance for regime shifts in the data-generating process. The method estimates separate coefficient vectors for each segment defined by detected break dates while correcting for non-spherical errors — heteroscedasticity or autocorrelation — that frequently accompany structural change, yielding consistent and efficient estimates across all regimes.
