Notes: r is number of cointegrating relations. Johansen trace tests and Saikkonen & LUtkepohl tests
are reported for identification of AI model. These values are estimated with a
V AR(3) with restricted
intercepts and no trends in six endogenous variables
w1 , w2, logp1 , logp2 , logp3 and log(Y /p). Seasonal
centred dummies are included. P-values of the are shown in square brackets.
