Practical Problems with Reduced Rank ML Estimators for Cointegration Parameters and a Simple Alternative
نویسنده
چکیده
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. The two estimators are compared in a small simulation study. It is found that the GLS estimator can indeed be an attractive alternative to ML estimation of cointegration parameters.

متن کاملBreak Date Estimation and Cointegration Testing in VAR Processes with Level Shift
In testing for the cointegrating rank of a vector autoregressive (VAR) process it is important to take into account level shifts that have occurred in the sample period. Therefore the properties of estimators of the time period where a shift has taken place are investigated. The possible structural break is modelled as a simple shift in the level of the process. Three alternative estimators for...
متن کاملCointegration analysis using M estimators
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.
متن کاملMixed Estimators of Ordered Scale Parameters of Two Gamma Distributions with Arbitrary Known Shape Parameters
When an ordering among parameters is known in advance,the problem of estimating the smallest or the largest parametersarises in various practical problems. Suppose independent randomsamples of size ni drawn from two gamma distributions withknown arbitrary shape parameter no_i > 0 and unknown scale parameter beta_i > 0, i = 1, 2. We consider the class of mixed estimators of 1 and 2 under the res...
متن کاملRobust Motion Segmentation Using Rank Ordering Estimators
Robust estimators have become popular tools for solving a wide range of problems in computer vision. Despite many successes in this field, there is still a need for estimators, which are suited to specific problems such as recovering structures from multi-structural data. This paper offers an alternative approach to, and some practical insights into, the implementation of well-known rank orderi...
