In this comment we identify a lacuna in a proof in the paper by M. Caner published in 1997 in Econometric Theory concerning the weak limit behavior of various expressions involving heavy-tailed multivariate vectors and the convergence of stochastic integrals. In a later paper (Caner, 1998) the results for these limit relations are used to formulate tests for cointegration with infinite variance errors.
The authors are grateful to the three anonymous referees and the editor for fruitful discussions that led to a substantial improvement of this comment.
