And no, I am not making this up. Consult any competent statistician.

Yes, you must not select a breakpoint by eyeballing a time series and then conduct a structural break test for this given breakpoint as if it were exogenously given. This will be far too liberal.

But most practitioners would think it is still ok to conduct a structural break test with _unknown_ breakpoint. Ideally, the hypothesis to be tested and the significance level were formulated prior to the collection of the data, though.

To add to Uwe's comments: maxstat_test() in package "coin" would be a non-parametric permutation test. sctest() in package "strucchange" provides a wide range of tests for general parametric models, especially linear regressions.

I have sent turkish real Gdp data (1998-2013) in annex.
Turkey has lived two crises in this period, in 2001 and 2008. You can
see in data.
My problem is to indicate these dates any statistic test as a structural
change or point change.


Have you tried CUSUM? Or some permutations test? You do not have muh data
....

            Hello
            Any one knows multiple break test for univariate series ?



    Which kind of breaks? shift?

    You may want to look for CUSUM or MOSUM tests or even permutation
tests.
