Nonparametric cointegration analysis



6. Testing linear restrictions

6.1. Design of the generalized eigenvalue problem, and asymptotic distribution theory

Following Johansen (1988,1991), we now focus on the problem of how to test whether
a cointegrating vector
ξ satisfies a linear relation of the form

(29)


H0: ξ = Hφ , where rank(H) s sr, φ Bs.

Thus, the matrix H is of full column rank s. At first sight we may think of mimicking
Johansen’s test for these linear restrictions, on the basis of the matrices
Am and IBm + n2Âm-1.
However, that leads to a case-dependent asymptotic null distribution. Therefore we propose
the following alternative approach, on the basis of the matrix
Aim only.

First, note that the null hypothesis (29) implies

H R RrΓ,                                                                         (30)

where Γ is a r × s matrix of rank s. Then it follows straightforwardly from (15), (17) and (30)
that

D           m

n2HAmH n n2ΓTR,TA,RrΓ →ΓTRrTD(1)£γ2YYtTD(1)TRrΓ
k= 1

and

HTÂ  + n 2A ^1 H = ΓtR∕r(r⅛4  +n 2Â1)r) RTR Γ→ ΓTV Γ.

m           m              r m           m∣∣        r           r, m

Since similarly to (21) we can write

Y" - (γtR∕D(1)D(1)TRrΓ■’ΓTR,TD(1)Yt   (~ N,^[0,Is]),
we have that
