Residual-based tests for fractional cointegration: A Monte Carlo study
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on an extensive Monte Carlo study of seven residual-based tests of the hypothesis of no cointegration. Critical values and the power of the tests under the alternative of fractional cointegration are simulated and compared. It turns out that the Phillips-Perron t-test when applied to regression residuals is more powerful than Geweke-Porter-Hudak tests and the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test. Only the Modified Rescaled Range test is more powerful than the Phillips-Perron test in a few situations. Moreover in large samples, the power of the Phillips-Perron test increases if a time trend is included in the cointegrating regression.

Alternative Bootstrap Procedures for Testing Cointegration in Fractionally Integrated Processes
This paper considers alternative methods of testing cointegration in fractionally integrated processes, using the bootstrap. The special feature of the fractional case is the dependence of the asymptotic null distributions of conventional statistics on the fractional integration parameter. Such tests are said to be asymptotically non-pivotal, and conventional asymptotic tests are therefore not ...
متن کاملSpurious regression and residual-based tests for cointegration in panel data
In the first half of the paper I study spurious regressions in panel data. Asymptotic properties of the least-squares dummy variable (LSDV) estimator and other conventional statistics are examined. The asymptotics of LSDV estimator are different from those of the spurious regression in the pure time-series. This has an important consequence for residual-based cointegration tests in panel data, ...
متن کاملCointegration testing under structural change: reducing size distortions and improving power of residual based tests
This paper investigates howstandard residual based tests for cointegration— under structural change in the long run relationship—canbemodified in order to reduce size distortions and improve power, by following the same ideas used in the unit root context. This is a natural strategy given that these tests are unit root statistics applied to estimated residuals from a cointegrating regression. I...
متن کاملTesting of Fractional Cointegration in Macroeconomic Time Series
We propose in this article a two-step testing procedure of fractional cointegration in macroeconomic time series. It is based on Robinson’s (1994) univariate tests and is similar in spirit to the one proposed by Engle and Granger (1987), testing initially the order of integration of the individual series and then, testing the degree of integration of the residuals from the cointegrating relatio...
متن کاملTesting for the Equality of Integration Orders of Multiple Series
Testing for the equality of integration orders is an important topic in time series analysis because it constitutes an essential step in testing for (fractional) cointegration in the bivariate case. For the multivariate case, there are several versions of cointegration, and the version given in Robinson and Yajima (2002) has received much attention. In this definition, a time series vector is p...
