Abstract / Description

In this paper we examine the stochastic behaviour of the S&P 5000 stock market index by means of fractional integration techniques. Specifically, we use a parametric method to test I(d) statistical models. Model selection criteria based on out-of-sample forecasting performance suggest that that best model specification is an I(d) process with d higher than 1, implying that the series under examination is nonstationary and non-mean-reverting.
