ETDs

This collection includes most of the ASU Theses and Dissertations from 2011 to present. ASU Theses and Dissertations are available in downloadable PDF format; however, a small percentage of items are under embargo. Information about the dissertations/theses includes degree information, committee members, an abstract, supporting data or media.

In addition to the electronic theses found in the ASU Digital Repository, ASU Theses and Dissertations can be found in the ASU Library Catalog.

Dissertations and Theses granted by Arizona State University are archived and made available through a joint effort of the ASU Graduate College and the ASU Libraries. For more information or questions about this collection contact or visit the Digital Repository ETD Library Guide or contact the ASU Graduate College at gradformat@asu.edu.

Estimation and hypothesis testing of cointegration

Description
Estimating cointegrating relationships requires specific techniques. Canonical correlations are used to determine the rank and space of the cointegrating matrix. The vectors used to transform the data into canonical variables have an eigenvector representation, and the associated canonical correlations have an eigenvalue representation. The number of cointegrating relations is chosen…

Estimating cointegrating relationships requires specific techniques. Canonical correlations are used to determine the rank and space of the cointegrating matrix. The vectors used to transform the data into canonical variables have an eigenvector representation, and the associated canonical correlations have an eigenvalue representation. The number of cointegrating relations is chosen based upon a theoretical difference in the convergence rates of the eignevalues. The number of cointegrating relations is consistently estimated using a threshold function which places a lower bound on the eigenvalues associated with cointegrating relations and an upper bound on the eigenvalues on the eigenvalues not associated with cointegrating relations. The proposed estimator performs better with a large number of cross-sectional observations and moderate time series length.
