Abstract

We give a brief introduction to the vector autoregressive model for cointegrated I(2) variables and show how some plausible economic relations can be formulated in the I(2) framework in such a way that likelihood ratio tests for their validity are asymptotically χ2 distributed.The authors thank Paolo Paruolo for helpful comments and the ESF for financial support in the framework of the EMM network.
