The authors study the properties of the ordinary least squares trend estimator in a simple linear regression model with multiple known level shift times. The error component in the model is taken to be a general short‐memory stationary time series. The authors establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator. They also present a climatological application in which the multiple level shifts are prominent features.
