Engle-Granger Cointegration and ECM

1. Cointegration refers to a long-run equilibrium relationship between two or more non-stationary time series variables. 2. An error correction model (ECM) directly estimates the speed at which a dependent variable returns to equilibrium after a change in other variables. It is often used when the underlying variables are cointegrated. 3. If two non-stationary time series are cointegrated, then while the individual series may follow a random walk, their linear combination is stationary, indicating they share a long-run equilibrium relationship.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 3

1. Introduction

• Cointegration is the existence of long-run relationship between two or

more variables.

• In econometrics, cointegration analysis is used to estimate and test

stationary linear relations, or cointegration relations, between non-

stationary time series variables.

• Typically refers to a linear combination of nonstationary variables.

1. Introduction

• Theoretically, it is quite possible that nonlinear long-run relationships

exist among a set of integrated variables.

• However, the current state of econometric practice is just beginning to

allow for tests of nonlinear cointegrating relationships.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 5

1. Introduction

• An Error Correction Model (ECM) is most used for data where the

underlying variables have a long-run stochastic trend, also known as

cointegration.

• The term error-correction relates to the fact that last-period's deviation from a

long-run equilibrium, the error, influences its short-run dynamics.

• Thus, ECMs directly estimate the speed at which a dependent variable

returns to equilibrium after a change in other variables.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 7

2.1 Integrated Stochastic Process

• The random walk model is but a specific case of a more general class of

stochastic processes known as integrated processes.

• In general, if a (nonstationary) time series must be differenced d times

to make it stationary, that time series is said to be integrated of order

d.

• A time series 𝑌 integrated of order d is denoted as 𝑌 ~𝐼(𝑑).

2.1 Integrated Stochastic Process

• If a time series 𝑌 to begin with (i.e., it does not require any

differencing), it is said to be integrated of order zero, denoted by

𝑌 ~𝐼(0).

• Most economic time series are generally 𝐼(1).

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 9

2.1 Integrated Stochastic Process

1. If 𝑋 ~𝐼(0) and 𝑌 ~𝐼(1) , then 𝑋 + 𝑌 = 𝑍 ~𝐼(1) ; that is, a linear

combination or sum of stationary and nonstationary time series is

nonstationary.

2. If 𝑋 ~𝐼(𝑑), then 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑋 = 𝑍 ~𝐼(𝑑), where a and b are constants.

3. If 𝑋 ~𝐼(𝑑 ) and 𝑌 ~𝐼(𝑑 ), then 𝑎𝑋 + 𝑏𝑌 = 𝑍 ~𝐼(𝑑 ), where 𝑑 < 𝑑 .

2.1 Integrated Stochastic Process

4. If 𝑋 ~𝐼(𝑑) and 𝑌 ~𝐼(𝑑), then 𝑎𝑋 + 𝑏𝑌 = 𝑍 ~𝐼(𝑑 ∗ ); 𝑑 ∗ is generally

equal to d, but in some cases 𝑑 ∗ < 𝑑 (cointegration).

• As you can see from the preceding statements, one must pay careful

attention in combining two or more time series that are integrated of

different order.

2.2 Spurious Regression

• Let’s consider the following two random walk models 𝑦 and 𝑥 .

• Suppose we regress 𝑦 on 𝑥 .

• Since 𝑦 and 𝑥 are uncorrelated I(1) processes, the R2 from the

regression of 𝑦 on 𝑥 should tend to zero.

2.2 Spurious Regression

• However, it usually does not happen → You may be tempted to conclude

that there is a significant statistical relationship between 𝑦 and 𝑥 ,

whereas a priori there should be none.

• This is in a nutshell the phenomenon of spurious or nonsense

regression.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 13

13

2.2 Spurious Regression

• Yule (1926) showed that (spurious) correlation could persist in

nonstationary time series even if the sample is very large.

• According to Granger and Newbold (1974), an 𝑅 > 𝑑 (Durbin Watson

statistic) is a good rule of thumb to suspect that the estimated

regression is spurious.

2.2 Spurious Regression

• One should be extremely wary of conducting regression analysis based

on time series that exhibit stochastic trends.

• And one should therefore be extremely cautious in reading too much in

the regression results based on I(1) variables.

3.1 Cointegration

• We have warned that the regression of a nonstationary time series on

another nonstationary time series may produce a spurious

regression.

• Subjecting these time series individually to unit root analysis, you will

find that they both are I(1); that is, they contain a unit root.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 17

17

3.1 Cointegration

• Suppose, then, that we regress 𝑦 ~𝐼(1) on 𝑥 ~𝐼(1) as follows:

• 𝑦 = 𝛽 +𝛽 𝑥 +𝑢

• 𝑢 =𝑦 −𝛽 𝑥 −𝛽

• We now subject 𝑢 to unit root analysis and find that it is stationary; that is,

it is I(0).

• Although 𝑦 and 𝑥 are individually I(1), their linear combination is I(0).

3.1 Cointegration

• As a result, a regression of 𝑦 on 𝑥 as in would be meaningful (i.e., not

spurious).

• In this case we say that the two variables are cointegrated, this is,

they have a long-term, or equilibrium, relationship between them.

• The valuable contribution of the concepts of unit root, cointegration,

etc. is to force us to find out if the regression residuals are stationary.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 19

19

3.1 Cointegration

• As Granger notes, “A test for cointegration can be thought of as a pre-

test to avoid ‘spurious regression’ situations.”

• In the language of cointegration theory, that regression is known as a

cointegrating regression and the slope parameter 𝛽 is known as the

cointegrating parameter.

3.1 Cointegration

• Notice that 𝑢 = 𝑦 − 𝛽 𝑥 − 𝛽 is equal to:

𝑦
• 𝑢 = 1−𝛽 𝑥 −𝛽

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 21

21

3.2 The Engle-Granger Method

• Engle and Granger (1987) developed this crucial technique.

• According to them, the steps for determining whether two integrated

variables cointegrate of the same order are the following:

1. Determine its order of integration

2. Test whether 𝑢 is stationary or not.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 22

6/11/2023

3.2 The Engle-Granger Method

• If the variables cointegrate, an OLS regression equation yields a

super-consistent" estimator.

• This means that there is a strong linear relationship between the

variables under study.

• The residual sequence, denoted by 𝑢 is a series of estimated values of

the deviation from the long-run relationship.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 23

23

3.2 The Engle-Granger Method

• Testing for unit roots on residuals aims at determining whether these

deviations are stationary or not.

• If they are stationary, then the series cointegrate.

• If the residuals are not stationary, there is no cointegration.

• For example, the ADF test is performed on the following model:

• ∆𝑢 = 𝛿𝑢 +𝜀

4. Error Correction Mechanism

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 25

25

4.1 Error Correction Mechanism

• We just showed that 𝑦 and 𝑥 are cointegrated; that is, there is a long-term,

or equilibrium, relationship between the two.

• Of course, in the short run there may be disequilibrium.

• Therefore, one can treat the error term as the “equilibrium error.”

• The error correction mechanism (ECM) first used by Sargan (1984) and later

popularized by Engle and Granger (1987) corrects for disequilibrium.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 26

4.1 Error Correction Mechanism

• An important theorem, known as the Granger representation theorem:

• If two variables 𝑦 and 𝑥 are cointegrated, then the relationship

between the two can be expressed as ECM.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 27

27

4.1 Error Correction Mechanism

• Consider the following model

• 𝑦 =𝛽 +𝛽 𝑥 +𝑢

• Δ𝑦 = 𝛼 + 𝛼 Δ𝑥 + 𝛼 𝑢 + 𝜀 ……………… (ECM)

𝑦
• Δ𝑦 = 𝛼 + 𝛼 Δ𝑥 + 𝛼 1−𝛽 𝑥 −𝛽 +𝜀

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 28

6/11/2023

4.1 Error Correction Mechanism

• ECM equation states that Δ𝑦 depends on Δ𝑥 and on the equilibrium

error term 𝑢 .

• The absolute value of 𝛼 decides how quickly the equilibrium is

restored.

• The significance of 𝛼 will tell us whether if the equilibrium error term

is zero or not.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 29

29

4.2 Advantages of the Engle and Granger approach

• Relatively simple.

• Useful as a first indication of the existence of a long run equilibrium

relationship.

• Where there is a consistent Cointegration vector it allows us to use the

super consistency property of OLS to obtain consistent estimates of the

cointegrating vector.

4.2 Advantages of the Engle and Granger approach

• Provides long run equilibrium information and the short-term

dynamics.

• Provides speed of adjustment to equilibrium.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 31

31

4.3 Limitations of the Engle and Granger approach

• For more than two variables it is no longer possible to demonstrate the

uniqueness of the Cointegration vector:

• If we have a vector of 𝐾 variables each integrated of the same order,

we can have up to 𝐾 − 1 Cointegration vectors.

• Has no systematic procedure to estimate multiple Cointegration

vectors.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 32

32
6/11/2023

4.3 Limitations of the Engle and Granger approach

• Distribution of test statistics is only a rough guide and will be slightly

different in any application.

• Results are based on asymptotic theory, but we do not have infinitely

large samples in practice.

• Carry over error bias.

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• The issue of whether the variables in a VAR need to be stationary

exists:

• Sims (1980) and others recommend against differencing even if the

variable contain a unit root.

• They argue that the goal of VAR analysis is to determine the

interrelationships among the variables, not the parameter

estimates.
Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 35

35

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• The main argument against differencing is that it “throws away”

information concerning the comovements in the data (such as the

possibility of cointegrating relationships).

• When there are unit roots in the model, it is convenient to

reformulate the VAR into a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM).

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• If two series are both integrated (of order one, or I(1)) we could model

their interrelationship by taking first differences of each series and

including the differences in a VAR or a structural model.

• However, this approach would be suboptimal if it was determined that

these series are indeed cointegrated.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 37

37

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• This implies that the simple regression in first differences is

misspecified.

• If the series are cointegrated, they move together in the long run.

• A VAR in first differences, although properly specified in terms of

covariance-stationary series, will not capture those long-run

tendencies.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 38

6/11/2023

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• Accordingly, the VAR concept may be extended to the vector error-

correction model, or VECM, where there is evidence of cointegration

among two or more series.

• The model is fit to the first differences of the nonstationary variables,

but a lagged error-correction term is added to the relationship.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 39

39

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• In the case of two variables, this term is the lagged residual from

the cointegrating regression, of one of the series on the other in levels.

• In the case of multiple variables, there is a vector of error-

correction terms, of length equal to the number of cointegrating

relationships, or cointegrating vectors, among the series.

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• Consider a first difference stationary, I(1), vector time series 𝑦 .

• The elements of 𝑦 are cointegrated if there is at least one vector 𝛽 such

that 𝛽′𝑦 is stationary in levels.

• 𝜷 is known as the cointegrating vector.

• In practice, most empirical applications analyze multivariate systems,

so the rest of our discussion focuses on that case.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 41

41

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• Consider a VAR with p lags:

𝑦 =𝑣+𝐴 𝑦 +⋯+ 𝐴 𝑦 +𝜀

• Can be rewritten as:

∆𝑦 = 𝑣 + Π𝑦 + Γ Δ𝑦 +𝜀

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

Engle and Granger (1987) show that if the variables 𝑦 are I(1) the

matrix Π has rank 0 ≤ r < K, where r is the number of linearly

independent cointegrating vectors

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 44


22
44
6/11/2023

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

1. If the variables in 𝑦 are I(1) but not cointegrated, Π is a matrix of zeros and

thus Rank(Π) = 0, then there is no co-integrating vector, implying that the

system is not co-integrated, thus, a VAR in their first differences is

consistent.

2. If all the variables are I(0), Rank(Π) = K; full rank, thus, a VAR in their

levels is consistent.

3. If the variables cointegrate, 0 < Rank(Π) = r < K, thus, a VAR in first

differences is misspecified because it omits the lagged level term Π𝑦 .

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 45

45

5.1 Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)

• If we express Π = 𝛼𝛽′, the linear combination given by 𝛽′𝑦 are stationary.

• In the terminology of Engle-Granger, this means that the vector process 𝑦 is

cointegrated with cointegration vector 𝜷 and 𝜶 is the adjusting factor:

∆𝑦 = 𝑣 + 𝛼𝛽′𝑦 + Γ Δ𝑦 +𝜀

6.1 The Johansen Test for Cointegration

 The Johansen (1988) test is a test for cointegration that allows for more

than one cointegrating relationship, unlike the Engle-Granger method.

 As we mentioned, 𝒓 is the number of cointegrating relationships, the

elements of 𝜶 are known as the adjustment parameters in the vector

error correction model and each column of 𝜷 is a cointegrating vector.

 Furthermore, assume that these eigenvalues are sorted from the

largest 𝜆 to the smallest 𝜆 .

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 51

6.1 The Johansen Test for Cointegration

 If there are 𝑟 < 𝐾 cointegrating equations, 𝛼 and 𝛽 have rank 𝑟 and the

eigenvalues 𝜆 , … , 𝜆 are zero.

6.1 The Johansen Test for Cointegration

• At the core of the Johansen method is the relationship between the

rank of the impact matrix 𝚷 = 𝜶𝜷′ and the size of its eigenvalues.

• The method infers the cointegration rank by testing the number of

eigenvalues that are statistically different from 0, then conducts

model estimation under the rank constraints.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 55

55

6.1 The Johansen Test for Cointegration

• Sometimes the two tests may give conflicting results

• Harris(1995)

• The sequence of the trace tests leads to a consistent procedure.

• The maximum eigenvalue has a sharper alternative

hypothesis and is preferred to pin down the number of

cointegrating vectors.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 56

56
6/11/2023

6.1 The Johansen Test for Cointegration

• Cheung and Lai (1993) propose choosing cointegration rank based on

the trace statistic.

• They state that the trace statistic is more robust to skewness and

excess kurtosis in residuals than the maximum Eigenvalue statistic.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 57

57

6.1 The Johansen Test for Cointegration

• Enders (2010) concurs with these findings and states that when the

two tests for cointegration rank are in conflict the trace statistic is

likely to give more reliable results.

• Current practice is to only consider the trace test.

7.1 The Johansen Test for Cointegration

• Although the method appears to be very different from the Engle-

Granger method, it is essentially a multivariate generalization of the

augmented Dickey-Fuller test for unit roots.

• The eigenvalues depend on the form of the VEC model, and on the

composition of its deterministic terms.

Macroeconometrics Cointegration and Error Correction Models 61

61

7.1 The Johansen Test for Cointegration

• The critical values for the tests are obtained using Monte Carlo

approach.

• The distribution of statistics depends on two components:

1. The number of nonstationary components under the null

hypothesis.

2. The form of the deterministic components, constant, trend or both.

Has similarity with the Dickey fuller test.
