Note that Assumption 2 guarantees that the matrix Vr,m is a.s. nonsingular.
Denoting

and using the result of Andersen, Brons and Jensen (1983), it follows straightforwardly from
Lemma 4:
Theorem 1. Let λ1 ,m ≥ .. ≥ λq,m be the ordered solutions of the generalized eigenvalue problem

where the X*i ’s and Y*j ’s are i.i.d. Nq-r(0,Iq-r). Ifzt is cointegrated with r linear independent
cointegrating vectors then under Assumptions 1-3, (λ1 ,m ,..,λq,m ) converges in distribution to
(λ1,m,...,λq-r,m,0,..,0).
In order to show how fast (λq-r+1 ,m ,..,λq,m ) converges to (0,....,0), observe from Lemma
4 that
