This paper proposes an inference procedure for a possibly integrated vector autoregression (VAR) model. We modify the lag augmented VAR (LA-VAR) estimator to exclude the quasiasymptotic bias, which is associated with the term Op(T-1), using the jackknife method. The new estimator has an...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to test the hypothesis of long-run Granger non-causality in cointegrated systems. We circumvent the problem of singularity of the variance-covariance matrix associated with the usual Wald type test by proposing a generalized inverse procedure, and an...
