In this paper, tests for fractional cointegration that allow for structural breaks in the long-run equilibrium are … proposed. Traditional cointegration tests cannot handle shifts in fractional cointegration relationships, a limitation … addressed here by allowing for a time-dependent memory parameter for the cointegration error. The tests are implemented by …

essential step in testing for (fractional) cointegration in the bivariate case. For the multivariate case, there are several … versions of cointegration, and the version given in Robinson and Yajima (2002) has received much attention. In this definition … integration order. Furthermore, this time series vector is said to be cointegrated if there exists a cointegration in any of the …

This paper investigates the finite-sample properties of the smooth transition-based cointegration test proposed by … cointegration and globally stationary D-LSTR cointegration under the alternative. As a result of the identification problem the …

In this paper, we develop new threshold cointegration tests with SETAR and MTAR adjustment allowing for the presence of … breakpoint and test the null hypothesis of no cointegration. Thereby, we extend the well-known residual-based cointegration test … Carlo experiments. We find a substantial decrease of power of the conventional threshold cointegration tests caused by a …
