Nonparametric cointegration analysis



becomes singular, we recommend the rule-of-thumb m =2q. The corresponding critical values
are presented in Table 3. As is easy to see, the same rule-of-thumb applies to the lambda-max
test. The critical values of the lambda-max test, for
m =2q, and the weight functions Fk
chosen as in Lemma 3, are given in Table 4.

6.4. Estimation of the cointegrating vectors

The results in section 6.1 can also be used to derive consistent estimators of the

cointegrating vectors, as follows. Choose again m = 2q, and let H be the matrix of the r
eigenvectors corresponding to the r smallest eigenvalues of the generalized eigenvalue
problem
n2H AmH = Op(1). Moreover, using (37) we can write

with Γ1 and Γ2 stochastically bounded matrices. It follows now similarly to Theorem 3 that


H W Γ rRHR,.,γi ÷ γir,-A,R i ÷ 1 ` R ar γ2 ÷ WRr,γi .

Therefore, it follows easily from part (15) of Lemma 4 that Γ1 = Op(1/n). Since by (37), Γ1 =
Rq-TH^, we now have Rq-rrH = Op(1/n). Thus:

Theorem 6. If there are r linear independent cointegrating vectors then the matrix H of
standardized eigenvectors corresponding to the r smallest eigenvalues of the generalized
eigenvalue problem
(36) (with m chosen from Table 1 ) satisfies Rq-τTH = Op(1/n), where Rq-r
is the matrix of eigenvectors of C
(1)C(1)T corresponding to the positive eigenvalues.
