A Bootstrap Test of Cointegration Rank
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper suggests a bootstrap testing procedure for determining the rank of cointegrated systems. The properties of the new testing procedure are investigated using Monte Carlo techniques. The performance of the test compares favourably to that of the widely used procedures for determining cointegration rank proposed by Johansen (1988). JEL classi cation: C12; C15; C32.

Bootstrap and fast double bootstrap tests of cointegration rank with financial time series
The likelihood ratio test of cointegration rank is the most widely used test for cointegration. Many studies have shown by simulation that the small sample distribution is not well approximated by the limiting distribution. We suggest using the bootstrap to generate small sample critical values instead of correcting the test statistics. The idea of bootstrapping the trace test of cointegration ...
متن کاملBootstrap testing for the null of no cointegration in a threshold vector error correction model
We develop a test for the linear no cointegration null hypothesis in a threshold vector error correction model. We adopt a sup-Wald type test and derive its null asymptotic distribution. A residual-based bootstrap is proposed, and the first-order consistency of the bootstrap is established. A set of Monte Carlo simulations shows that the bootstrap corrects size distortion of asymptotic distribu...
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 کاملAlternative 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 کاملTesting for cointegration in dependent panels via residual-based bootstrap methods
We address the issue of panel cointegration testing in dependent panels, showing by simulations that tests based on the stationary bootstrap deliver good size and power performances even with small time and cross-section sample sizes and allowing for a break at a known date. They can thus be an empirically important alternative to asymptotic methods based on the estimation of common factors. Po...
