Likelihood Ratio Tests of Restrictions on Common Trends Loading Matrices in I(2) VAR Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Likelihood ratio tests of over-identifying restrictions on the common trends loading matrices in I(2) VAR systems are discussed. It is shown how hypotheses on the common trends loading matrices can be translated into hypotheses on the cointegration parameters. Algorithms for (constrained) maximum likelihood estimation are presented, and asymptotic properties sketched. The techniques are illustrated using the analysis of the PPP and UIP between Switzerland and the US.

I(2) Cointegration Analysis in the Presence of Deterministic Shifts
This paper investigates limit theory for the likelihood analysis of an I(2) cointegrated vector autoregressive (VAR) model in the presence of deterministic shifts. A log likelihood ratio (logLR) test statistic for integration indices is considered, and it is demonstrated that the asymptotic distribution of the statistic is given in the form of a generalised Dicky-Fuller type distribution. A log...
متن کاملRobust tests for the common principal components model
In multivariate analysis we often deal with situations involving several populations, such as discriminant analysis, where the assumption of equality of scatter matrices is usually assumed. Yet sometimes, this assumption is not adequate but problems related to an excessive number of parameters will arise if we estimate the scatter matrices separately for each population. In many practical situa...

A test for the cointegrating rank of a vector autoregressive (VAR) process with a possible shift and broken linear trend is proposed. The break point is assumed to be known. The setup is a VAR process for cointegrated variables. The tests are not likelihood ratio tests but the deterministic terms including the broken trends are removed first by a GLS procedure and a likelihood ratio type test i...

This thesis consists of three essays: Essay Nr. 1 (Kolmogorov-Wiener Filters for Finite Time-Series) describes a framework to implement optimally linear filters in the context of finite time series. The filters under consideration have the property that they minimize the mean squared error compared to some ideal hypothetical filter. It is shown in examples that three commonly used filters, the ...
متن کاملOn the Identification of Codependent VAR and VEC Models
In this paper we discuss identification of codependent VAR and VEC models. Codependence of order q is given if a linear combination of autocorrelated variables eliminates the serial correlation after q lags. Importantly, maximum likelihood estimation and corresponding likelihood ratio testing are only possible if the codependence restrictions can be uniquely imposed. However, our study reveals ...
