Some examples of the regression method are compared with likelihood-based inference. It is shown that, although the asymptotic theory is distinctly different for ergodic and nonergodic processes, the likelihood methods lead to the result that asymptotic inference can be conducted in the same way...

This paper contains the likelihood analysis of vector autoregressive models allowing for cointegration. The author derives the likelihood ratio test for cointegrating rank and finds it asymptotic distribution. He shows that the maximum likelihood estimator of the cointegrating relations can be...
