We consider the fractional cointegrated vector autoregressive (CVAR) model of Johansen and Nielsen (2012a) and make two distinct contributions. First, in their con- sistency proof, Johansen and Nielsen (2012a) imposed moment conditions on the errors that depend on the parameter space, such that...

We consider the fractional cointegrated vector autoregressive (CVAR) model of Johansen and Nielsen (2012a) and show that the test statistic for the ususal CVAR model is asymptotically chi-squared distributed. Because the usual CVAR model lies on the boundary of the parameter space for the...

This paper proves consistency and asymptotic normality for the conditional-sum-of-squares (CSS) estimator in fractional time series models. The models are parametric and quite general. The novelty of the consistency result is that it applies to an arbitrarily large set of admissible parameter...
