Integrated Series
= + 1 1 +
First we check
if individual
variables are
integrated?
Here, gfcf is
integrated at
first difference
or level one.
Cointegration & Error Correction Model
Example
Individual variables must be integrated at the
same level
First we check
if individual
variables are
integrated?
Here, the
variable
imports is
integrated at
first difference
or level one.
Cointegration & Error Correction Model
Example
Are GFCF and imports cointegrated?
We use Engle Granger Test. It has three steps.
Run a basic regression (long run)
Predict the errors
Run the regression of First difference of
residuals on lag of residuals and on lag of first
difference of residuals
If the coefficient of lag of residuals is
significant, the series are cointegrated.
IMPORTANT: the t-values reported in simple
regression are not appropriate so we use the
EG critical values.
Cointegration & Error Correction Model
Example
Are GFCF and imports cointegrated?
Step I: run a basic regression
Cointegration & Error Correction Model
Example
Are GFCF and imports cointegrated?
Step II & III
First we check
if individual
variables are
integrated?
Here, the
variable
imports is
integrated at
first difference
or level one.
Cointegration & Error Correction Model
Example
Are GFCF and imports cointegrated?
Interpreting results
Coefficient of first lag of residuals is -0.5926
t-value is -3.42
