GVECM.jo: Estimate country-specific Johansen test results in a Global VECM setting

Description

Estimate country-specific Johansen test results in a Global VECM setting

Usage

GVECM.jo(data,p=2,ecdet = "const", type = "eigen",spec = "longrun",
season = NULL,weight.matrix)

Value

JO.test

List object of country-specific Johansen test results

VECMoutputs

List object of country-specific VECM results

RESID

List object of country-specific VECM residuals, obtained by using vars::vec2var

Arguments

data

Dataframe is a strictly balanced panel data format,the first column is cross-section ID,and the second column is Time. For the sake of identification, both columns must be named by, respectively, id and Time.

p

The number of lag for Xt matrix. Current version restricts p <= 2 for simplicity, which aims at avoiding too many paramaters in low-frequency data of many variables and many countries. It will be relaxed soon.

ecdet

Character, 'none' for no intercept in cointegration, 'const' for constant term in cointegration and 'trend' for trend variable in cointegration.

type

Model specificaiton for VECM. As in package VECMs, we have four selection: "none","const","trend", "both".

spec

Determines the specification of the VECM, see details in pakcage urca.

season

If seasonal dummies should be included, the data frequency must be set accordingly,i.e '4' for quarterly data.

weight.matrix

Bilateral trade weight matrix for computing foreign VECMiables. If the computation of foreign VECMiables are weighted by one weighting matrix, weight.matrix must be a "data.frame". If the computation of foreign VECMiables are weighted on a year-to-year basis, then weight.matrix must be a "list, with the same length as the weighting frequency.
