Bounds testing approaches to the analysis of level relationships

Pesaran, M. Hashem, Shin, Yongcheol, Smith, Richard J.·2001·Journal of Applied Econometrics

Abstract

Abstract This paper develops a new approach to the problem of testing the existence of a level relationship between a dependent variable and a set of regressors, when it is not known with certainty whether the underlying regressors are trend‐ or first‐difference stationary. The proposed tests are based on standard F ‐ and t ‐statistics used to test the significance of the lagged levels of the variables in a univariate equilibrium correction mechanism. The asymptotic distributions of these statistics are non‐standard under the null hypothesis that there exists no level relationship, irrespective of whether the regressors are I (0) or I (1). Two sets of asymptotic critical values are provided: one when all regressors are purely I (1) and the other if they are all purely I (0). These two sets of critical values provide a band covering all possible classifications of the regressors into purely I (0), purely I (1) or mutually cointegrated. Accordingly, various bounds testing procedures are proposed. It is shown that the proposed tests are consistent, and their asymptotic distribution under the null and suitably defined local alternatives are derived. The empirical relevance of the bounds procedures is demonstrated by a re‐examination of the earnings equation included in the UK Treasury macroeconometric model.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The ARDL model is particularly suitable when variables are a mix of I(0) and I(1) but none are I(2), ensuring robustness and consistency of long-run and short-run estimations in small samples.

    “As noted by Pesaran et al. (2001), the ARDL model is particularly suitable when variables are a mix of I(0) and I(1) but none are I(2), ensuring the robustness and consistency of long-run and short-run estimations in small samples.”
  • Pretesting variables for unit roots before ARDL estimation is essential.

    “Pretesting variables before proceeding with ARDL estimation is essential.”

  • The presence of an I(2) variable would render the use of an ARDL technique inappropriate because the critical values of the F-statistics computed by Pesaran et al. (2001) are based on the assumption that the variables are either I(0) or I(1).

    “The presence of an I(2) variable would render the use of an ARDL technique inappropriate because the critical values of the F-statistics computed by Pesaran et al. (2001) are based on the assumption that the variables are either I(0) or I(1) (see also Odhiambo, 2009).”

  • A bounds test for cointegration was used to verify the presence of a long-run equilibrium relationship between GDP and airline demand variables.

    “Following the lag selection, a bounds test for cointegration was used to verify the presence of a longrun equilibrium relationship between GDP and airline demand variables, accounting for both the I(0) and I(1) variables (Pesaran et al., 2001).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
