We want to determine the rank of these matrices to determine the number of parameters
in the restricted model. We now need the result, see Johansen (2007).

Lemma 3 If βi = hi + Hi,φi is identified, then the (p r) × mi matrix β,1Hi has rank
mi.

-Γ. e -ɪ-ɪ         , 1 , τsθ∕ 7-7-1             1                1 , 1       r          IjI           , .

It follows that β 1Hi has rank mi, and therefor so has the matrix

β↑Hi(bi.M = 011l2)'Hi(5i,b,,ɪ) = ( β°χβbl βb'i ɔ .

m        i r _             Ji        i r /ɔθ TTi ∙   __          m r

The rank of ai is gi so the rank of β llHibi± is mi gi. Therefore

SlS2.


This shows that the number of parameters is sls2+ ∑r=l ^i, and hence that the test
for the identifying restrictions is asymptotically distributed as
χ2 with J2r=l(P r mi)
degrees of freedom.
