We show that in this setting standard inference based on ordinary least squares estimation of an augumented Dickey\u2013Fuller (ADF) regression may not be reliable, because (a) clusters of outliers may lead to inconsistent estimation of the autoregressive parameters and (b) large outliers induce a jump component in the asymptotic distribution of UR test statistics. In the benchmark case of known outlier location, we discuss why the augmentation of the ADF regression with appropriate dummy variables not only ensures consistent parameter estimation but also gives rise to UR tests with significant power gains, growing with the number and the size of the outliers. In the case of unknown outlier location, the dummy-based approach is compared with a robust, mixed Gaussian, quasi maximum likelihood (QML) approach, novel in this context. It is proved that, when the ordinary innovations are Gaussian, the QML and the dummy-based approach are asymptotically equivalent, yielding UR tests with the same asymptotic size and power. Moreover, as a by-product of QML the outlier dates can be consistently estimated. When the innovations display tails fatter than Gaussian, the QML approach ensures further power gains over the dummy-based method. Simulations show that the QML ADF-type<jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test, in conjunction with standard Dickey\u2013Fuller critical values, yields the best combination of finite-sample size and power.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0266466609990272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,26]],"date-time":"2009-10-26T14:57:29Z","timestamp":1256569049000},"page":"1625-1661","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["ROBUST INFERENCE IN AUTOREGRESSIONS WITH MULTIPLE OUTLIERS"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Cavaliere","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Iliyan","family":"Georgiev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1913712"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-0262.00256"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01621459.1995.10476510"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0266466600165077"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1368-423X.00036"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-4076(03)00155-6"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref15","volume-title":"Introduction to Statistical Time Series","author":"Fuller","year":"1976"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref11","volume-title":"Ox: An Object-Oriented Matrix Programming Language","author":"Doornik","year":"2001"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1368-423X.2004.00130.x"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"471","DOI":"10.1080\/07350015.1994.10524569","article-title":"The effects of additive outliers on tests for unit roots and cointegration","volume":"12","author":"Franses","year":"1994","journal-title":"Journal of Business and Economic Statistics"},{"key":"S0266466609990272_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cavaliere G. & Georgiev I.
