Abstract

In this paper, we develop a Markov Switching autoregressive distributed lag (MS-ARDL) model in which short- and long-run nonlinearities are introduced. The model is used to investigate the import demand of Nigeria for parboiled rice from Thailand. We demonstrate that the model is estimable by Maximum likelihood estimator and then a reliable long-run inference can be achieved by bound testing regardless of the integration orders of the variables. Furthermore, we first examine the accuracy of the model using a simulation study, and then the salient features of the model are employed to investigate the Thai parboiled rice demand from Nigeria.
