摘要
Tests of cointegrating coefficients in vector autoregressive error correction models ignore the Cauchy-like behavior of the estimator's finite-sample distribution. This causes excessive rejections of the null in standard chi(2) tests. We propose a Cauchy-based chi(2) test, and show, via simulation, that it yields adequate rejection rates.
