As an example, the header portion of the cointegration test output for the fourvariable system used by johansen and juselius 1990 for the. Dwyer april 2015 time series can be cointegrated in various ways, with details such as trends assuming some importance because asymptotic distributions depend on the presence or lack of such terms. Understanding of the specification of the johansen.
Multivariate cointegration johansen and jesilius 1988 and stock and watson 1988 develop max likelihood procedure to test for cointegration their test could estimate and test the number of cointegration equations and to test restricted versions. This article shows the cointegration test for var with three variables. I will focus on the simple case of one unit root in each of the variables with no constant terms or other deterministic terms. This implies that, if there are shocks to the system, the model is not likely to converge in the longrun. Perform either 1 johansen s system cointegration test, 2 englegranger or phillipsouliaris single equation cointegration testing, or 3 pedroni, kao, or fisher panel cointegration testing for. If you are really sure that there is a long term relationship in your data, then check that you are using the correct number of lags and appropriate dummy variables constant, trend, seasonal dummies, etc and then rerun the johansen procedure again. An alternative approach to test for cointegration was introduced by johansen 1988.
I found contradict results from the two above test, when eg test showed there is cointegration between. A wald test for the cointegration rank in nonstationary. Perform either 1 johansens system cointegration test, 2 englegranger or phillipsouliaris single equation cointegration testing, or 3. This view carries out the johansen, englegranger, or phillipsouliaris test for whether the series in the group are cointegrated or not. The interest in cointegration literature has increased significantly as a. Johansen cointegration test matlab jcitest mathworks. This test permits more than one cointegrating relationship so is more generally applicable than the englegranger test which is based on the dickeyfuller or the augmented test for unit roots in the residuals from a single estimated cointegrating. Munich personal repec archive stationarity and cointegration tests. I run johansen cointegration test on two time series variables using eviews. Specifically for the johansen cointegration test, i read in another thread that. On a side note, i am quite concerned over the low number of. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of deviations from the unitroot assumption on the determination of the cointegrating rank of the system using johansen s. This lecture revisits these topics in the context of the var model and looks in detail at the johansen 1988, 1991 procedure for testing for cointegration. It will help you to run johansen cointegration in eviews.
To test for that i read that you can make a johansen system cointegration but i really do not understand all the options intercept, trend. You may likely get spurrious result if you run the test on series that are integrated of different orders. While one could estimate an equation with spurious trends and then to test for their significance using a wald test, eviews. Analysing cointegration among a group of variables. This test has the advantage that it is intuitive, easy to perform and once we master it we will also realize it. Interpretation of results from johansens cointegration test. Hi when i do the johansen cointegration test in eviews, i see that the default setting was 1 to 4 lag interval.
The default trace test assesses null hypotheses h r of cointegration rank less than or equal to r against the alternative h n, where n is the dimension of the data. Gross domestic product gdp, gross fixed capital formation gfc and private final consumption pfc. Although johansen s methodology is typically used in a setting where all variables in the system are i1, having stationary variables in the system is theoretically not an issue and johansen 1995 states that there is little need to pre test the variables in the system to establish their order of integration. Do all of the models need to have cointegrating vecors for there to be cointegration. So the next step would be to check a cointegration relationship. The summaries show that the first test rejects a cointegration rank of 0 no cointegration and just barely rejects a cointegration rank of 1, but fails to reject a cointegration rank of 2. This video shows you how to perform the johansen cointegration test using eviews10. The cointegration test specification page opens to prompt you for information about the test.
