This paper utilizes asymptotic expansions of the Edgeworth type to investigate alternative forms of the Wald test of nonlinear restricti ons. Some formulae for the asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the Wald statistic are provided for a general case that should include most econometric...

A new procedure for statistical inference in cointegrating regressions is developed. The author introduces canonical cointegrating regressions (regressions formulated with the transformed data). The required transformations involve simple adjustments of the integrated processes using stationary...

This paper analyzes monthly data on the exchange rates and price indices of the eleven major industrial countries over the modern period of floating exchange rates. It presents tests that are based upon the null hypothesis of cointegration. The paper finds evidence that most country pairs not...

The author derives some exact finite sample disbibutions and characterizes the tail behavior of maximum likelihood estimators of the cointegrating coefficients in error correction models. The reduced rank regression estimator has a distribution with Cauchy-like tails and no finite moments of...

This paper is concerned with model determination methods and their use in the prediction of economic time series. The methods are Bayesian but they can be justified by classical arguments as well. The paper continues some recent work on Bayesian asymptotic, develops embedding techniques for...
