This paper provides an extensive Monte-Carlo comparison of severalcontemporary cointegration tests. Apart from the familiar Gaussian basedtests of Johansen, we also consider tests based on non-Gaussianquasi-likelihoods. Moreover, we compare the performance of these parametrictests with tests...

It is well established that the shocks driving many key macro-economic and financial variables display time-varying volatility. In this paper we consider estimation and hypothesis testing on the coefficients of the co-integrating relations and the adjustment coefficients in vector...

To what extent can the bootstrap be applied to conditional mean models | such as regression or time series models | when the volatility of the innovations is random and possibly non-stationary? In fact, the volatility of many economic and financial time series displays persistent changes and...
