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
