CZa: Phillips' (1987) Za and Zt test for cointegration

Description

Test the null hypothesis of no cointegration between y and x using Phillips' (1987) Za and Zt statistics and Phillips and Ouliaris (1990) limit theory.

Usage

CZa(y,x,p=1,v=15)

Value

alpha

Estimate of the AR(1) coefficient.

cza

Za statistic for non-cointegration.Reject the null hypothesis of no cointegration if the Z statistic < critical value.

cza_cv

Critical values of cza.

czt

Zt statistic for non-cointegration.Reject the null hypothesis of no cointegration if the Z statistic < critical value.

czt_cv

Critical values of czt.

Arguments

y

The data of dependent variable in a regression.

x

The data of independent variables in a regression.

p

Order of the time polynomial in the cointegrating regressio. Critical values are available for p within [1,5].
p =-1: No deterministic term in the cointegrating regression.
p = 0: For a constant term.
p = 1: For a constant term and trend. Default.
P > 2: For time polynomial.

v

Number of autocovariance terms to compute the spectrum at frequency zero, default=15.
