摘要
This paper applies Bayesian techniques for detecting multiple structural breaks in the level of a time series to a data set recently used by Papell et al. (Rev. Econ. Stat. (2000) 309). 1 find virtually no support for unit roots in OECD unemployment rates. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
