Test for cointegration rank in general vector autoregressions
نویسنده
چکیده
Johansen derived the asymptotic theory for his cointegration rank test statisic for a vector autoregression where the parameters are restricted so the process is integrated of order one. It is investigated to what extent these parameter restrictions are binding. The eigenvalues of Johansen's eigenvalue problem are shown to have the same consistency rates accross the parameter space. The test statistic is shown to have the usual asymptotic distribution as long as the possibilities of additional unit roots and of singular explosiveness are ruled out. To prove the results the convergence of stochastic integrals with respect to singular explosive processes is considered.

The Wold Representation, Cointegration and the Johansen Trace Test +,*
This paper considers the importance of moving average errors for the Johansen trace test of cointegrating rank based upon approximating vector autoregressions (VARs). Two cases are emphasized and explored, both taking as their starting point the Wold decomposition. Though each case defined satisfies the same cointegrating vector, one is a case of multicointegration while the other, based on res...
متن کاملCointegration Analysis in the Presence of Flexible Trends
Intercept and deterministic trend functions are known to have a substantial effect on cointegration analysis, and notably on the asymptotic distributions of various test statistics. In this paper we propose a unifying approach to the analysis of cointegrated vector autoregressions by allowing for a wide class of trend functions. Next, estimates of these trends are incorporated in the asymptotic...
متن کاملBootstrap and fast double bootstrap tests of cointegration rank with financial time series
The likelihood ratio test of cointegration rank is the most widely used test for cointegration. Many studies have shown by simulation that the small sample distribution is not well approximated by the limiting distribution. We suggest using the bootstrap to generate small sample critical values instead of correcting the test statistics. The idea of bootstrapping the trace test of cointegration ...
