Estimate country-specific Engle-Granger VECM in a Global VECM setting

Description

Estimate country-specific Engle-Granger VECM in a Global VECM setting

Usage

GVECMest(data,p=2,lag.max=NULL, type="const", ic,weight.matrix=NULL)

Arguments

data	Dataframe is a strictly balanced panel data format,the first column is cross-section ID,and the second column is Time. For the sake of identification, both columns must be named by, respectively, id and Time.
p	The number of lag for Xt matrix. Foreign variables are set by FLag=p+1. Current version restricts p <= 2 for simplicity, which aims at avoiding too many paramaters in low-frequency data of many variables and many countries. It will be relaxed soon.
lag.max	The maximal number of lag for estimating country-specific VECM
type	Model specificaiton for VECM. As in package VECMs, we have four selection: "none","const","trend", "both".
ic	Information criteria for optimal lag.As in package VECMs, we have four selection: "AIC", "HQ", "SC", and "FPE".
weight.matrix	Bilateral trade weight matrix for computing foreign VECMiables. If the computation of foreign VECMiables are weighted by one weighting matrix, weight.matrix must be a "data.frame". If the computation of foreign VECMiables are weighted on a year-to-year basis, then weight.matrix must be a "list, with the same length as the weighting frequency.

Value

gvecm	Country-specific GVECM output list
White	Coefficient estimates with White robust coVECMiance
NWHAC	Coefficient estimates withNewy-West robust coVECMiance
p	Number of lags for endogeneous VECMiables in VECM
K	Number of lags for Ft VECMiables in VECM
type	Model specificaiton. As in package VECMs, we have four selection: "none","const","trend", and "both".
datamat	input data=data
lagmatrix	GVECM's Country-secific optimal lag number.
lagmatrix1	VECM's Country-secific optimal lag number.
exoLag	Ft lags
Ft	Foreign VECMiables
NAMES	Names of countries
gvecmRSD	Country-specific Global VECM residuals
vecmRSD	VECM residuals
