The standard tests must be modified in this situation, and the asymptotic distributions of the test statistics change accordingly. We supply code that allows practitioners to easily calculate both p-values and critical values for the trace tests of Johansen et al. (2000). Access is also provided to tables of critical values for a broad selection of situations.

An Empirical Analysis of China’s International Reserves Demand Function

The study aims to estimate an international reserves demand model for China using economic growth, propensity to import, real effective exchange rate and trade openness variables for quarterly period spanning from 1985Q1 to 2014Q4.The bounds testing technique to cointegration is used to test for a long run relationship, while the autoregressive distributed lag approach is used to estimate short...

Simple tests for the null of no cointegration with structural breaks

In this paper, a synthesis of the recently advanced Lagrange multiplier (LM)-based tests for the null of no cointegration which account for different patterns of breaks in the cointegrating relationship is provided. The limiting distributions of the test statistics are not only invariant to an intercept break and a break in the cointegrating vector, but are also invariant to a trend break in a ...

Necessity of Routine Repeat Testing of Critical Values in Various Working Shifts

Background & Objective: Accurate and timely reporting of critical values is an important issue. There is some doubt whether repeat testing of critical values would offer any advantage over single testing or not. The aim of this study was evaluation of utility of routine repeat testing of critical values in our referral center and to compare probable variations in different work...

Tests for cointegration with structural breaks based on subsamples

This paper considers tests for cointegration with allowance for structural breaks, using the extrema of residual-based tests over subsamples of the data. One motivation for the approach is to formalize the practice of data snooping by practitioners, who may examine subsamples after failing to …nd a predicted cointegrating relationship. Valid critical values for such multiple testing situations ...

Does routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values improve their accuracy?

  Background: Routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values is very common these days to increase their accuracy and to avoid reporting false or infeasible results. We figure that repeat testing of critical laboratory values has any benefits or not.   Methods : We examined 2233 repeated critical laboratory values in 13 different hematology and chemistry tests including: hemoglobin, white...
