Abstract
This paper develops some new tests for structural hypotheses in the framework of a multivariate error correction model with Gausian errors. The tests are constructed by an analysis of the likelihood function and motivated by an empirical investigation of the PPP relation and the UIP relation for the United Kingdom. Three types of tests are discussed. First, the authors' consider the same linear restrictions on all cointegration relations, then they consider the hypothesis that certain relations are assumed to be cointegrating, and finally they formulate a general hypothesis that contains the previous ones. This hypothesis can be expressed by the conditions that some of the cointegrating relations are subject to given linear restrictions, while others are unconstrained.

Estimation and hypothesis testing of cointegration vectors in Gaussian vector autoregressive models / Søren Johansen

S Johansen
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the likelihood methods for the analysis of cointegration in VAR models with Gaussian errors, seasonal dummies, and constant terms, and show that the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator is mixed Gausssian.

The Power of Cointegration Tests

TL;DR: In this paper, Monte Carlo analysis and an empirical study of U.K. money demand demonstrate that when cointegration exists, the error-correction test generally is more powerful than the Dickey-Fuller test.

Financial Development and Economic Growth: The Role of Stock Markets

TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between stock market development and economic growth, controlling for the effects of the banking system and stock market volatility, and found that although both banks and stock markets may be able to promote economic development, the erects of the former are more powerful.

A quantitative reassessment of the finance–growth nexus: evidence from a multivariate VAR

TL;DR: In this article, the long-run relationship between financial development and economic growth is examined in a multivariate vector autoregression (VAR) framework using 10 sample countries, and the authors find bi-directional causality.

A Fractional Cointegration Analysis of Purchasing Power Parity

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized notion of cointegration, called fractional co-integration is introduced to examine the long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis, and empirical results show that PPP reversion exists and can be characterized by a fractionally integrated process in three out of five countries studied.

Statistical analysis of cointegration vectors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a nonstationary vector autoregressive process which is integrated of order 1, and generated by i.i.d. Gaussian errors, and derive the maximum likelihood estimator of the space of cointegration vectors and the likelihood ratio test of the hypothesis that it has a given number of dimensions.

A Monetary Approach To The Exchange Rate: Doctrinal Aspects And Empirical Evidence

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of expectations in exchange rate determination and a direct observable measure of expectations is proposed, based on the information that is contained in data from the forward market for foreign exchange.

On the Mark: A Theory of Floating Exchange Rates Based on Real Interest Differentials

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model which is a version of the asset view of the exchange rate, in that it emphasizes the role of expectations and rapid adjustment in capital markets, and it combines the Keynesian assumption of sticky prices with the Chicago assumption that there are secular rates of inflation.

Deviations from Purchasing Power Parity in the Long Run

TL;DR: This article showed that deviations from purchasing power parity reveal a remarkable and possibly startling consistency with martingale behavior during both fixed and flexible exchange rate periods, for a wide variety of countries, and in both monthly and annual data.
