Of course, reliable economic inferences would need to include proper model selection, with corresponding settings for the model and other default parameters. Two or more time series are cointegrated if they share a common stochastic drift. The tests include, as special cases, johansens 1988, 1991 tests for cointegration rank in vars when d b 1 is known, standard dickeyfuller tests when d b 1 is known and p 1, and fractional dickeyfuller tests jn, 2010 when p 1.

The tests also produce maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters in a vector errorcorrection vec model of the cointegrated series.
As a result, cointegration is modeled using long spans of low frequency time series data measured monthly, quarterly or annually. This matlab function performs the johansen cointegration test on a data matrix. Cross validated is a question and answer site for people interested in statistics, machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and data visualization. This is determined by adf tests on the residuals, with the mackinnon 1991 critical values adjusted for the number of variables which mackinnon denotes as n.
Test for cointegration using the johansen test matlab. If cointegration holds, the ols estimator of 5 is said to be superconsistent. Cointegration is an important concept when dealing with time series data. The summaries show that the first test rejects a cointegration rank of 0 no cointegration and just barely rejects a cointegration rank of 1, but fails to reject a cointegration rank of 2. The z test does reject the null of no cointegration the test regresses y. Introduction to pair trading based on cointegration. Introduction the use of cointegration techniques to test for the presence of long. For both test statistics, the initial johansen test is a test of the null hypothesis of no cointegration against the alternative of cointegration.

Resources include examples and documentation covering cointegration testing, modeling, and analysis including englegranger and johansen methods. Panel cointegration techniques and open challenges peter pedroni williams college october 5, 2018 abstract this chapter discusses the challenges that shape panel cointegration techniques, with an emphasis on the challenge of maintaining the robustness of cointegration methods when temporal dependencies interact with both.
Section two, examines the concept of stationarity, section three. Englegranger tests assess the null hypothesis of no cointegration among the time series in y. Cointegration says that they wander together, meaning that there is a longrun equilibrium relationship among the series. Accordingly, this paper is divided into five sections.

Learn how to test for, analyze, and model cointegration in matlab. Learn about cointegrated time series and error correction models. This test is usually performed by software such as matlab or stat using the. Cointegration and error correction analysis matlab. We will make use of the urca library, written by bernhard pfaff and matthieu stigler, which wraps up the johansen test in an easy to call function ca. The null hypothesis in the englegranger procedure is no. A separate econometrics toolbox function, jcontest, uses the johansen framework to test linear constraints on cointegrating relations b and adjustment speeds a, and estimates vec model parameters under the additional constraints.
To illustrate the input and output structure of jcitest when conducting multiple tests, test for the cointegration rank using the default h1 model and two different lag. Numerical distribution functions of fractional unit root. The first test provides evidence of cointegration, and fails to reject a cointegration rank r 1.
