This paper introduces the notion of common noncausal features and proposes tools to detect them in multivariate time series models. We argue that the existence of co-movements might not be detected using the conventional stationary vector autoregressive (VAR) model as the common dynamics are...

This paper investigates the effect of seasonal adjustment filters on the identification of mixed causal-noncausal autoregressive models. By means of Monte Carlo simulations, we find that standard seasonal filters induce spurious autoregressive dynamics on white noise series, a phenomenon already...

This paper presents the MARX package for the analysis of mixed causal-noncausal autoregressive processes with possibly exogenous regressors. The distinctive feature of MARX models is that they abandon the Gaussianity assumption on the error term.This deviation from the Box-Jenkins approach...
