In this paper we develop new system-equation tests for threshold cointegration based on a threshold vector autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model. The proposed tests do not require weak exogeneity, and can be applied when cointegrating vector is unknown. The asymptotic null distributions of the tests are expressed as functionals of two-parameter Brownian motion. The distributions are free o...
