BOOTSTRAPPING SYSTEMS COINTEGRATION TESTS WITH A PRIOR ADJUSTMENT FOR DETERMINISTIC TERMS

In this paper we analyze bootstrap procedures for systems cointegration tests with a prior adjustment for deterministic terms suggested by Saikkonen et al. (2006, <italic>Econometric Theory</italic> 22, 15–68) and Saikkonen and Lütkepohl (2000, <italic>Journal of Time Series Analysis</italic> 21, 435–456). The asymptotic properties of the bootstrap test procedures are derived, and their small-sample properties are studied. The simulation study also considers the standard asymptotic test versions and the Johansen cointegration test for comparison.
