Testing the Granger Noncausality Hypothesis in Stationary Nonlinear Models of Unknown Functional Form
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a general method for testing the Granger noncausality hypothesis in stationary nonlinear models of unknown functional form. These tests are based on a Taylor expansion of the nonlinear model around a given point in the sample space. We study the performance of our tests by a Monte Carlo experiment and compare these to the most widely used linear test. Our tests appear to be well-sized and have reasonably good power properties.

ANOTHER LOOK AT SWEDISH BUSINESS CYCLES, 1861-1988 by
This paper considers nine long Swedish macroeconomic time series whose business cycle properties were discussed by Englund, Persson, and Svensson (1992) using frequency domain techniques. It is found by testing that all but two of the logarithmed and differenced series are nonlinear. The observed nonlinearity is characterized by STAR models. The statistical and dynamic properties of the estimat...

Abstract T his paper is to convince the usage of the nonlinear unit root tests when dealing with a nonlinear model. To do so, the stationary test for variables in a model titles “Fiscal Reaction Function in Iran” has been applied according to both the ordinary and the Nonlinear Dickey-Fuller (NDF) tests. Results show that while variables under investigation are stationary ...

Granger’s (1969) popular concept of causality, based on work by Weiner (1956), is typically defined in terms of predictability for one period ahead. Recently, Dufour and Renault (1998) generalized the concept to causality at a given horizon h, and causality up to horizon h, where h is a positive integer that can be infinite (1≤h<∞); see also Sims (1980), Hsiao (1982) and Lütkepohl (1993a) for r...
متن کاملGranger-causal analysis of GARCH models: a Bayesian approach
A multivariate GARCH model is used to investigate Granger causality in the conditional variance of time series. Parametric restrictions for the hypothesis of noncausality in conditional variances between two groups of variables, when there are other variables in the system as well, are derived. These novel conditions are convenient for the analysis of potentially large systems of economic varia...
متن کاملCausality in Nonlinear
The concepts of weak, strong and strict Granger causality are introduced for nonlinear time series models. 1-step ahead predictions are formed using the conditional expectation. The weak form is related to Granger's original deenition for linear predictors in that it is based on the forecast error variance, whereas the strong form concerns the conditional variance, and the strict form the condi...
