When analysing macroeconomic data it is often of relevance to allow for structural breaks in the statistical analysis. In particular, cointegration analysis in the presence of structural breaks could be of interest. We propose a cointegration model with piecewise linear trend and known break...

Some methods for the evaluation of parameter constancy in cointegrated vector autoregressive (VAR) models are discussed. Two different ways of re-estimating the VAR-model are proposed; one in which all parameters are estimated recursively based upon the likelihood function for the first...

In this note we develop the likelihood-ratio test for some linear restrictions implied by rational expectations hypotheses in a cointegrated vector autoregressive model for I(1) variables, when the constant or linear term is restricted to the cointegration space. Copyright Royal Economic...

<b> </b> We consider estimation of the cointegrating relation in the weak fractional cointegration model, where the strength of the cointegrating relation (difference in memory parameters) is less than one‐half. A special case is the stationary fractional cointegration model, which has found...
