Non-causality in bivariate binary time series
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we develop a dynamic discrete-time bivariate probit model, in which the conditions for Granger non-causality can be represented and tested. The conditions for simultaneous independence are also worked out. The model is extended in order to allow for covariates, representing individual as well as time heterogeneity. The proposed model can be estimated by Maximum Likelihood. Granger non-causality and simultaneous independence can be tested by Likelihood Ratio or Wald tests. A specialized version of the model, aimed at testing Granger non-causality with bivariate discrete-time survival data is also discussed. The proposed tests are illustrated in two empirical applications. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. JEL classification: C50; C33; C35

Multivariate linear and nonlinear causality tests
The traditional linear Granger test has been widely used to examine the linear causality among several time series in bivariate settings as well as multivariate settings. Hiemstra and Jones [19] develop a nonlinear Granger causality test in bivariate settings to investigate the nonlinear causality between stock prices and trading volume. This paper extends their work by developing a non-linear ...
متن کاملExtending Granger causality to nonlinear systems
We consider extension of Granger causality to nonlinear bivariate time series. In this frame, if the prediction error of the first time series is reduced by including measurements from the second time series, then the second time series is said to have a causal influence on the first one. Not all the nonlinear prediction schemes are suitable to evaluate causality, indeed not all of them allow t...

متن کاملGranger Causality between Multiple Interdependent Neurobiological Time Series: Blockwise versus Pairwise Methods
Granger causality is becoming an important tool for determining causal relations between neurobiological time series. For multivariate data, there is often the need to examine causal relations between two blocks of time series, where each block could represent a brain region of interest. Two alternative methods are available. In the pairwise method, bivariate autoregressive models are fit to al...
متن کاملOnline Nonlinear Granger Causality Detection by Quantized Kernel Least Mean Square
Identifying causal relations among simultaneously acquired signals is an important challenging task in time series analysis. The original definition of Granger causality was based on linear models, its application to nonlinear systems may not be appropriate. We consider an extension of Granger causality to nonlinear bivariate time series with the universal approximation capacity in reproducing ...
