The parameters in the cointegration vector and the loading parameters are not the only interesting parameters in a … vector cointegration model. With a reformulation of the model the intercept parameters can be decomposed into growth … parameters and cointegration mean parameters. These parameters have economic interpretations and are therefore also important. We …

The analysis of macroeconomic time series through cointegration is … a common fact. Modelling the Romanian M2 money demand through cointegration and vector error correction led to somewhat …
