Structural change and unit roots

Recent research (though sometimes disputed) has demonstrated that structural breaks can affect inference about unit roots. The present paper presents a selective survey of the literature on structural breaks, on tests for unit roots and on tests for unit roots under structural breaks. Both the classical and Bayesian literature are reviewed and some suggestions for further research are made.
