Resum
This paper focuses on testing the stability of the unconditional variance when the stochastic processes may have heavy-tailed distributions. Finite sample distributions that depend both on the effective sample size and the tail index are approximated using Extreme Value distributions and summarized using response surfaces. A modification of the Iterative Cumulative Sum of Squares (ICSS) algorithm to detect the presence of multiple structural breaks is suggested, adapting the algorithm to the tail index of the underlying distribution of the process. We apply the algorithm to eighty absolute log-exchange rate returns, finding evidence of (i) infinite variance in about a third of the cases, (ii) finite changing unconditional variance for another third of the time series - totalling about one hundred structural breaks - and (iii) finite constant unconditional variance for the remaining third of the time series.
