This paper investigates effects of a signal-to-noise ratio on finite sample inference for cointegrating vectors. The ratio is defined as a measure of the magnitude of a permanent shock relative to a transitory shock. According to Monte Carlo experiments conducted in this paper, a high...

This note investigates long-run exclusion in a cointegrated vector autoregressive (VAR) model from the viewpoint of finite-sample statistical inference. Monte Carlo experiments show that, in various circumstances, a mis-specified partial VAR model, which is justified by the existence of a...
