We consider cointegration rank estimation for a p-dimensional Fractional Vector Error Correction Model. We propose a … levels. The first step consists in estimating the parameters of the model under the null hypothesis of the cointegration rank … r=1,2,...,p-1. This step provides consistent estimates of the order of fractional cointegration, the cointegration …

after the German reunification, cointegration is found between both variables suggesting a slightly positive relationship. …

We consider VAR models for variables exhibiting cointegration and common cyclical features. While the presence of … cointegration reduces the rank of the long-run multiplier matrix, other types of common features lead to rank reduction of the short …
