Abstract
AbstractThis study provides new mechanisms for identifying and estimating explosive bubbles in mixed‐root panel autoregressions with a latent group structure. A postclustering approach is employed that combines k‐means clustering with right‐tailed panel‐data testing. Uniform consistency of the k‐means algorithm is established. Pivotal null limit distributions of the tests are introduced. A new method is proposed to consistently estimate the number of groups. Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed methods perform well in finite samples; and empirical applications of the proposed methods identify bubbles in the U.S. and Chinese housing markets and the U.S. stock market.
