The estimated Markov regime-switching models are represented

by v = wi + βir 1 +ζ for Model 1, v = wi +δiv 1 +βir 1 +ζ for

t i i t -1         t                                             t i i t -1         i t -1         t

Model 2,      vt = wi + βirt-1 + γi rt2-1 +ζt     for Model 3,

vt = wi +δivt-1 + βirt-1 + γi rt2-1 +ζt      for Model 4, and

vt = wi + δivt-1 + βirt-1 + γirt-1 + φi∆σrt-1 + ζt for Model 5. The model
parameters
w and σe are scaled by 102. The null hypothesis tests are
distributed as
χ2(1) . LL refers to the log maximum likelihood function.
