A parametric approach to the estimation of cointegration vectors in panel data



Appendix A

Proof of Theorem 1

First assume that αi and Σi are known so that zit = (αi0Σi-1αi)-1α0iΣi-1yit
and zi+t = zit - yi(,1t)-1 .

From Johansen (1991) it is known that in a cointegrated VAR(1) model
we have
t

yit = β (αi0,β)-1α0i,     εis + uit ,

s=1

where uit is (asymptotically) stationary. From T -1/2 Pts=1 εis = T -1/2 P[ta=T1] εit
Bi (a), where Bi(a) Bi is a Brownian motion with covariance matrix Σi. It
follows that

T

BiBi0  αi, (β0 αi,)-1β0


T - X yityi0t β(α0i,β)- α0i,
t=1

Using E(f BiBi) = (1 /2)∑i we obtain
