Abstract
We derive asymptotic properties of the quasi maximum likelihood estimator of
smooth transition regressions when time is the transition variable. The consistency of the estimator
and its asymptotic distribution are examined. It is shown that the estimator converges at
the usual pT-rate and has an asymptotically normal distribution. Finite sample properties of the
estimator are explored in simulations. We illustrate with an application to US inflation and output
data.
