摘要:The paper examines a Lagrange Multiplier type test for the con- stancy of the parameter in general models with dependent data without im- posing any arti cial choice of the possible location of the break. In order to prove the asymptotic behaviour of the test, we extend a strong approximation result for partial sums of a sequence of random variables. We also present a Monte-Carlo experiment to examine the nite sample performance of the test and how it compares with tests which assume some knowledge of the possible location of the break.
