The Integration Order of Vector Autoregressive Processes



In the next proposition we consider the I(2) case:

Proposition 4.2 (I(2) case). A necessary and sufficient condition for
α
∏(1)β = ξη' and α'2θβ2 = 0, where ξ and η arep—r ×s matrices of
full rank s < p — r, θ
= π2l +Π(1)βα'∏(1), α2 = αξ and β2 = βη
is that

a = m — 2

in Πa(z) = (z — 1)aH(z) and H(1) = 0p. The explicit expression for
H
(1) is

H (1) = g (1) β2( α2 θβ2)-1 α2.

PROOF. Assume a = m — 2 so that d = 2; the first derivative
of Π(
z)H(z) = H(z)Π(z) = (z — 1)2g(z)Ip implies α∏(1)βζ2 =
ζ2α∏(1)β = 0p-r and thus ζ2∖∖α∏(1)β = 0; if α∏(1)β = 0
then
ζ2 = 0p-r contradicts H(1) = 0p; thus α∏(1)β = 0, α∏(1)β =
ξι' where ξ and η are p — r × s matrices of full rank s < p — r and
ζ 2 = ηψξ for some p—r—s×p—r—s matrix ψ of rank 0 < t ≤ p—r—s ;
then
H (1) becomes

H (1) = βηψξ α = β 2 ψα'2.

Note that the first derivative of (4.1) provides the equality

(4.2)


•                                        a

β'H(1) = α ' ∏(1) H (1).

The the second derivative of (4.1) implies

a a                                                                   a                   a

(4.3)         α ∏(1) H (1) + 2 α ∏(1) H(1) = 2 g (1) α.

Using Ip = ββ' + ββ' we see that α∏(1)TH^(1) = ξη'βH(1) +
a                 ___ a                                             ___ a                                            a                 ___ a

α∏(1)/3β'HD = ξη'β'H(1) + α∏(1)/3α'∏(1)H(1) by (4.2). Thus

(4.3) becomes

(4.4)


∏(1)

2


a                 --- a

+ ∏(1) /3 α ' ∏(1)


---          a

H (1)+ ξη'β' H(1) = g (1) α.


Pre and post multiplying (4.4) respectively by ξ and α2, we see that

(4.5)


α θ θβ 2 ψ = g (1) Ip-r-s

Then ψ = 0, α'2θβ2 = 0 and ψ = g(1)(αθθβ2)-1 follow from g(1) =
0 and the
I(2) condition is satisfied.

Assume now the I(2) condition holds and suppose d = m — a > 2;

(4.5) becomes

α θ θβ 2 ψ = 0 p-r-s

and ψ = 0p-r-s contradicts α2θβ2 = 0 and implies m — a = 2. ■
