Cointegration Analysis in the Presence of Flexible Trends

چکیده
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 distributions of the test statistics. This approach allows incorporating elaborate drift functions in cointegration analysis, while avoiding the issue of the significance of the trend these functions give rise to. Simulation techniques can yield the appropriate critical values.

Estimating Fractional Cointegration in the Presence of Polynomial Trends
We propose and derive the asymptotic distribution of a tapered narrow-band least squares estimator (NBLSE) of the cointegration parameter in the framework of fractional cointegration. This tapered estimator is invariant to deterministic polynomial trends. In particular, we allow for arbitrary linear time trends that often occur in practice. Our simulations show that, in the case of no determini...
متن کاملThe proposed cost and profit models in presence of flexible measures
In conventional DEA, measures are classified as either input or output. However, in some real cases there are variables whose status is not known as input or output before assessment. These variable are known as flexible measures. One of the most important economic dimensions for ensuring the success of a company is the efficiency with which it uses its resources. Therefore, centering on Asses...
متن کاملA new non oriented models for calculating the efficiency of decision-making units in the presence of flexible variables
In assessing the relative efficiency of decision-maker units by classical Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, the status of the data is determined from the input or output points of views. In real issues, there are some data whose statuses are debatable. Some decision making units consider them as input to achieve higher efficiency while some other decision making units consider them ...
متن کاملImplications of Cointegration for Forecasting: A Review and an Empirical Analysis
Cointegration has different theoretical implications for forecasting. Several empirical studies have compared the out of sample forecasting performance of cointegrted VECMs against unrestricted VARs in levels and in differences. The results of these studies have been generally mixed and inconclusive. This paper provides a comprehensive review over the subject, and also examines the effects...
متن کاملPeriodic Cointegration Analysis on the Relationship between the GNP Sectors of the Iran’s Economy
T his paper analyses the relation between GNP sectors of Iran’s economy. The different sectors of the economy directly or indirectly affect each other and can complement or follow each other. Using a number of empirical tests, the paper finds evidence of seasonal or periodic integration in the underlying data. This means that the conventional cointegration tests may not be robust and in re...
