Cointegration analysis using M estimators
نویسنده
چکیده
Tests for cointegration are developed using multivariate M estimators. The tests are based on analyzing the singular values of the parameter estimates standardized by the covariance matrix and do not require a reduced rank estimator. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Bayes Estimators of the Cointegration Space
A neglected aspect of the otherwise fairly well developed Bayesian analysis of cointegration is the point estimation of the cointegration space. It is pointed out here that, due to the well known non-identification of the cointegration vectors, the parameter space is not an inner product space and conventional Bayes estimators therefore stand without their usual decision theoretic foundation. W...
متن کاملPractical Problems with Reduced Rank ML Estimators for Cointegration Parameters and a Simple Alternative
Johansen’s reduced rank maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for cointegration parameters in vector error correction models is known to produce occasional extreme outliers. Using a small monetary system and German data we illustrate the practical importance of this problem. We also consider an alternative generalized least squares (GLS) system estimator which has better properties in this respect....

متن کاملStructural Spurious Regressions and A Hausman-Wu-type Cointegration Test∗
Economic models often imply that certain variables are cointegrated. However, tests often fail to reject the null hypothesis of no cointegration for these variables. One possible explanation of these test results is that the error is unit root nonstationary due to a nonstationary measurement error in one variable. For example, currency held by domestic economic agents for legitimate transaction...
متن کاملSmall-sample improvements in the statistical analysis of seasonally cointegrated systems
This paper proposes new iterative reduced-rank regression procedures for seasonal cointegration analysis. The suggested methods are motivated by the idea that modelling jointly the cointegration restrictions at the different frequencies may induce some efficiency gain in finite samples. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the new tests and estimators perform well with respect to already exist...
