Title:Forecasting Levels of log Variables in Vector Autoregressions
Author(s):BARDSEN, Gunnar; LUETKEPOHL, HelmutDate:2009Type of Publication:Working PaperSeries/Report no.:EUI ECOAbstract:Sometimes forecasts of the original variable are of interest although a variable appears in logarithms (logs) in a system of time series. In that case converting the forecast for the log of the variable to a naive forecast ...
Title:Testing for the Cointegrating Rank of a Vector Autoregressive Process with Uncertain Deterministic Trend Term
Author(s):DEMETRESCU, Matei; LUETKEPOHL, Helmut; SAIKKONEN, PenttiDate:2009Type of Publication:ArticleAbstract:P>When applying Johansen's procedure for determining the cointegrating rank to systems of variables with linear deterministic trends, there are two possible tests to choose from. One test allows for a trend in the cointegration ...
