This paper proposes an inference procedure for a possibly integrated vector autoregression (VAR) model. We modify the lag augmented VAR (LA-VAR) estimator to exclude the quasiasymptotic bias, which is associated with the term Op(T-1), using the jackknife method. The new estimator has an...

In this paper we propose residual-based tests for the null hypothesis of cointegration with a structural break against the alternative of no cointegration. The Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test is proposed and its limiting distribution is obtained for the case in which the timing of a structural...
