This note aims to investigate time series properties of a dynamic system for Japan's aggregate import demand. A multivariate cointegration analysis of Japanese data reveals a stable economic linkage interpretable as a long-run import demand function. A vector equilibrium correction system is...

This note investigates the behaviour of a parameter-constancy test statistic when near I(2) (integrated of order 2) variables are incorporated in a cointegrated vector autoregressive system. Simulation studies indicate that the presence of such variables has a significant impact on size...

This note conducts recursive Monte Carlo experiments on the Bartlett correction for a likelihood-based test on cointegrating vectors. The experiments show that the correction can reduce size distortions even in situations where regularity conditions for I(1) cointegration analysis are satisfied...
