Cointegrating rank selection in models with time-varying variance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reduced rank regression (RRR) models with time varying heterogeneity are considered. Standard information criteria for selecting cointegrating rank are shown to beweakly consistent in semiparametric RRR models in which the errors have general nonparametric short memory components and shifting volatility provided the penalty coefficient Cn → ∞ and Cn/n → 0 as n → ∞. The AIC criterion is inconsistent and its limit distribution is given. The results extend those in Cheng and Phillips (2009a) and are useful in empirical work where structural breaks or time evolution in the error variances is present. An empirical application to exchange rate data is provided. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Automated Estimation of Vector Error Correction Models
Model selection and associated issues of post-model selection inference present well known challenges in empirical econometric research. These modeling issues are manifest in all applied work but they are particularly acute in multivariate time series settings such as cointegrated systems where multiple interconnected decisions can materially a¤ect the form of the model and its interpretation. ...

Analysis of large geostatistical data sets, usually, entail the expensive matrix computations. This problem creates challenges in implementing statistical inferences of traditional Bayesian models. In addition,researchers often face with multiple spatial data sets with complex spatial dependence structures that their analysis is difficult. This is a problem for MCMC sampling algorith...
متن کاملSemiparametric cointegrating rank selection
Some convenient limit properties of usual information criteria are given for cointegrating rank selection. Allowing for a non-parametric short memory component and using a reduced rank regression with only a single lag, standard information criteria are shown to be weakly consistent in the choice of cointegrating rank provided the penalty coefficient Cn → ∞ and Cn/n → 0 as n → ∞. The limit dist...

In this paper, we propose a model-selection approach to testing the expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates. Our method is based on the posterior information criterion (PIC) developed and analyzed by Phillips and Ploberger (1994, 1996) and extended to provide order estimation of cointegrating rank by Chao and Phillips (1997). This methodology has the advantage that issues of...
