We consider VAR models for variables exhibiting cointegration and comon 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 …

We suggest improved tests for cointegration rank in the vector autoregressive (VAR) model and develop asymptotic … distribution theory and local power results. The tests are (quasi-)likelihood ratio tests based on a Gaussian likelihood, but of … local power of the proposed tests dominates that of existing cointegration rank tests …
