Testing for cointegration using the johansen methodology. Pierse 1 introduction in last semesters course, the topics of testing for unit roots and cointegration were introduced. On a side note, i am quite concerned over the low number of. I have seen questions like how to interpret the test results, but when i am interpreting mine i have some doubts. One important test for cointegration that is invariant to the ordering of variables is the fullinformation maximum likelihood test of johansen aka johansen test. Hi when i do the johansen cointegration test in eviews, i see that the default setting was 1 to 4 lag interval.
This test permits more than one cointegrating relationship so is more generally applicable than the englegranger test which is based on the dickeyfuller or the augmented test for unit roots in the residuals from a single estimated cointegrating. I am testing for cointegration using the johansen test. I did it using johansen procedure unit root cointegration test. This is determined by eviews as optimal according to 3 criteria first estimate var with any of the lag specifications, check the optimality of the lag order in viewlag structurelag specificationlag length criteria and then reestimate the vecm with the optimal lag order. In summary, the johansen cointegration test results show that the four variable groups in table a1 are cointegrated during the periods and had a longterm equilibrium relationship during 1981 and 2012. His approach allows to avoid some drawbacks existing in the englegrangers approach and test the number of cointegrating relations directly. System cointegration testing using johansens methodology is described in johansen cointegration test. As i understand it, johansen cointegration test is used for series that are integrated of the same order. To test for that i read that you can make a johansen system cointegration but i really do not understand all the options intercept, trend.

Ideally, a nontechnical explanation would be appreciated. Multivariate cointegration johansen and jesilius 1988 and stock and watson 1988 develop max likelihood procedure to test for cointegration their test could estimate and test the number of cointegration equations and to test restricted versions. Although johansen s methodology is typically used in a setting where all variables in the system are i1, having stationary variables in the system is theoretically not an issue and johansen 1995 states that there is little need to pre test the variables in the system to establish their order of integration. The default trace test assesses null hypotheses h r of cointegration rank less than or equal to r against the alternative h n, where n is the dimension of the data. It will help you to run johansen cointegration in eviews. So the first step for you is to run an augmented dicker fuller adf unit root test on all the variables in your model. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of deviations from the unitroot assumption on the determination of the cointegrating rank of the system using johansen s. Dwyer april 2015 time series can be cointegrated in various ways, with details such as trends assuming some importance because asymptotic distributions depend on the presence or lack of such terms. You may wish first to apply unit root tests to each series in the var. Analysing cointegration among a group of variables. Munich personal repec archive stationarity and cointegration tests. The previous article showed lag selection and stationarity for vector auto regression var with three variables.
How to understand johansen cointegration test results. Specifically for the johansen cointegration test, i read in another thread that. Perform either 1 johansen s system cointegration test, 2 englegranger or phillipsouliaris single equation cointegration testing, or 3 pedroni, kao, or fisher panel cointegration testing for the series in the group. After performing a stationarity test, there are three 3 likely outcomes. Test for cointegration using the johansen test matlab. In giles and godwin 2012 we provide eviews and r code that generates asymptotic pvalues and the 1%, 5% and 10% asymptotic critical values for the h l and h c cointegration tests proposed by johansen et al.
I will focus on the simple case of one unit root in each of the variables with no constant terms or other deterministic terms. Perform either 1 johansens system cointegration test, 2 englegranger or phillipsouliaris single equation cointegration testing, or 3. I have a problem with engle granger cointegration test and johansen cointegration test. Johansen cointegration test matlab jcitest mathworks. The cointegration test specification page opens to prompt you for information about the test. Johansen cointegration test with eviews in the previous discussion we had shown that how we do the cointegration test what we called it as engle and granger tes t. I have a question on the johansen cointegration test. You may likely get spurrious result if you run the test on series that are integrated of different orders. Johansen test the johansen test approaches the testing for cointegration by examining the number of independent linear combinations k for an m time series variables set that.
While one could estimate an equation with spurious trends and then to test for their significance using a wald test, eviews. Say you need to explain it to an investor and justify why your pairs trading strategy should make him rich. The first two parts of this discussion focus on cointegration tests employing the johansen 1991, 1995 system framework or englegranger 1987 or phillipsouliaris 1990 residual based test statistics. Interpretation of results from johansens cointegration test. This lecture revisits these topics in the context of the var model and looks in detail at the johansen 1988, 1991 procedure for testing for cointegration.
Note that the englegranger and phillipsperron tests may also be performed as a view of a group object. Interpretation of results from johansen s cointegration test. Gross domestic product gdp, gross fixed capital formation gfc and private final consumption pfc. If i am correct there are 5 posible models with different degrees of freedom. I run johansen cointegration test on two time series variables using eviews. System cointegration testing using johansen s methodology is described in johansen cointegration test. How to perform johansen cointegration test in var with. Johansen test shows r2 but 3 cointegration vectors are estimated. Following johansen s technique, the normalized longterm cointegration relationships and the comparison coefficients are shown in tables c1. I found contradict results from the two above test, when eg test showed there is cointegration between. Perform either 1 johansen s system cointegration test, 2 englegranger or phillipsouliaris single equation cointegration testing, or 3 pedroni, kao, or fisher panel cointegration testing for. But this does not follow from the pure johansen test results, the unit coefficients are just a reasonable theoretical possibility which can be tested in gretl. As an example, the header portion of the cointegration test output for the fourvariable system used by johansen and juselius 1990 for the.
Understanding of the specification of the johansen. After performing stationarity test, there are three 3 likely outcomes. This article shows the cointegration test for var with three variables. For my data model 2 and 4 have cointegrating vectors but model 3 doesnt. See unit root testing for details on carrying out unit root tests in eviews. If you are really sure that there is a long term relationship in your data, then check that you are using the correct number of lags and appropriate dummy variables constant, trend, seasonal dummies, etc and then rerun the johansen procedure again.

In statistics, the johansen test, named after soren johansen, is a procedure for testing cointegration of several, say k, i1 time series. This test has the advantage that it is intuitive, easy to perform and once we master it we will also realize it. This video shows you how to perform the johansen cointegration test using stata.
Note that since this is a test for cointegration, this test is only valid when you are working with series that are known to be nonstationary. Do all of the models need to have cointegrating vecors for there to be cointegration. Bivariate cointegration testing is conducted using eviews as a precursor to multivariate. So the next step would be to check a cointegration relationship.
The summaries show that the first test rejects a cointegration rank of 0 no cointegration and just barely rejects a cointegration rank of 1, but fails to reject a cointegration rank of 2. Watch video on how to conduct johansen cointegration test in eviews however, if the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, it evidences no cointegration and hence there is no longrun relationship among the series.
