Testing for Neglected Nonlinearity in Cointegrating Relationships
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes pure significance tests for the absence of nonlinearity in cointegrating relationships. No assumption of the functional form of the nonlinearity is made. It is envisaged that the application of such tests could form the first step towards specifying a nonlinear cointegrating relationship for empirical modelling. The asymptotic and small sample properties of our tests are investigated, where special attention is paid to the role of nuisance parameters and a potential resolution using the bootstrap.

Testing for Smooth Transition Nonlinearity in Adjustments of Cointegrating Systems
This paper studies testing for the presence of smooth transition nonlinearity in adjustment parameters of the vector error correction model. We specify the generalized model with multiple cointegrating vectors and di¤erent transition functions across equations. Given that the nonlinear model is highly complex, this paper proposes an optimal LM test based only on estimation of the linear model. ...
متن کاملWorking Paper Series in Finance 00-11 ZERO-NON-ZERO PATTERNED VECTOR ERROR CORRECTION MODELLING FOR I(2) COINTEGRATED TIME-SERIES WITH APPLICATIONS IN TESTING PPP AND STOCK MARKET RELATIONSHIPS
Vector error -correction models (VECMs) have become increasingly popular in their applications to financial markets. Standard VECM models assume that the cointegrating vectors are of full rank such that they contain no zero elements. However, applications of VECM models to financial market data have revealed that zero entries are indeed possible. The existence of zero entries has not been fully...
متن کاملA Model of Fractional Cointegration, and Tests for Cointegration Using the Bootstrap∗
The paper proposes a framework for modelling cointegration in fractionally integrated processes, and considers methods for testing the existence of cointegrating relationships using the parametric bootstrap. In these procedures, ARFIMA models are fitted to the data, and the estimates used to simulate the null hypothesis of non-cointegration in a vector autoregressive modelling framework. The si...
متن کاملRevisiting Tests for Neglected Nonlinearity Using Artificial Neural Networks
Tests for regression neglected nonlinearity based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) have so far been studied by separately analyzing the two ways in which the null of regression linearity can hold. This implies that the asymptotic behavior of general ANN-based tests for neglected nonlinearity is still an open question. Here we analyze a convenient ANN-based quasi-likelihood ratio statistic f...
متن کاملImpacts of multivariate GARCH innovations on hypothesis testing for cointegrating vectors
This note investigates impacts of multivariate generalised autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) errors on hypothesis testing for cointegrating vectors. The study reviews a cointegrated vector autoregressive model incorporating multivariate GARCH innovations and a regularity condition required for valid asymptotic inferences. Monte Carlo experiments are then conducted on a test ...
