TESTING FOR COINTEGRATION IN NONLINEAR SMOOTH TRANSITION ERROR CORRECTION MODELS
非线性平滑转换误差修正模型中的协整检验
This paper proposes a new testing procedure to detect the presence of a cointegrating relationship that follows a globally stationary smooth transition process. In the context of nonlinear smooth transition error correction models (ECMs) we provide two simple operational versions of the tests. First, we obtain the associated nonlinear ECM-based tests. Second, we derive the nonlinear analogue of the residual-based test for cointegration in linear models. We derive the…
