Structural Break Estimation : A Survey

This paper surveys the literature on structural break estimation with classical econometrics methods. I start by classifying different types of structural breaks. Then, I review differentiating the presence of structural breaks from the unit root. They are often easily confused because the tests looking for the existence of one could give supporting evidence for the presence of the other. Finally, this paper refers to both testing for the presence of breaks in the data, and also estimating their dates with single and multiple break estimators JEL Codes: C10
