Common Trends and Common Cycles in Canadian Sectoral Output Staff Working Paper 2003-44 Francisco Barillas, Christoph Schleicher The authors examine evidence of long- and short-run co-movement in Canadian sectoral output data. Their framework builds on a vector-error-correction representation that allows them to test for and compute full-information maximum-likelihood estimates of models with codependent cycle restrictions.

Real Time Detection of Structural Breaks in GARCH Models Staff Working Paper 2009-31 Zhongfang He, John M.
