Abstract

A cointegration relation is often interpreted as a long-run equilibrium relation whereas short-run deviations are allowed to a certain extent. In practice, however, real data often fail to confirm cointegration for a well understood economic relation. This paper proposes that in many cases failure of confirming cointegration is due to nonstationary deviations in a relatively small portion of the data period (“short-run”) whereas a cointegration relation prevails in the other periods. We call such a situation segmented cointegration. We study in this paper how to detect segmented cointegration and how to identify the period of short-run deviations.I thank Pentti Saikkonen and three anonymous referees for helpful comments.
