The Wald test for linear restrictions on cointegrating vectors is compared infinite samples using the Monte Carlo method. The Wald test within the vector error-correction based methods of Bewley et al (1994) and of Johansen (1991), the canonical cointegration method of Park (1992) the dynamic...

Classical regression analysis is usually performed in two steps. In a first step an appropriate model is identified to describe the data generating process and in a second step statistical inference is performed in the identified model. An intuitively appealing approach to the design of...
