bai-perron test for structural changes

Tuesday, 22 September 2015

Hi all,

I have found a discussion from last December about performing the
Bai-Perron test for structural changes in Gretl.

Eventually it was suggested to exploit Gretl’s link to R and do this test
using the strucchange package for R. Could someone help me in doing this? I
am far to be defined an expert in coding and programming… Thank you so much

Stefano

(I copy and paste below the discussion that I have found in the archive – I
was not part of the mailing list at the time).

I have no idea. :D

I wrote the code a while back, used it for what I needed it, and then

become abandonware. I'll send you a zipfile privately.
