KERNEL AND BANDWIDTH SELECTION, PREWHITENING, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FULLY MODIFIED LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATION METHOD
核与带宽选择、预白化及完全修正最小二乘的表现
This paper examines several practical issues regarding the implementation of the Phillips and Hansen fully modified least squares (FMLS) method for the estimation of a cointegrating vector. Various versions of this method arise by selecting between standard and prewhitened kernel estimation and between parametric and nonparametric automatic bandwidth estimators and also among alternative kernels. A Monte Carlo study is conducted to investigate the finite-sample properties of…
