Cointegration test is usually performed under the assumption that the cointegrating vector is constant for the whole sample period. Most previous studies have used conventional cointegration methods in testing for a stable long-run equilibrium relation among related variables. However they have overlooked that the long-run equilibrium may not the unique and the stable relation may not be guaranteed. This study develops the additional statistical tests for the stability of the estimated cointegrating vector. Three tests for the parameter stability of a cointegrated regression model are utilized and applied to identify the types of variations in the long-run relation between the domestic unemployment and the rotated macroeconomic variables of interest. The present paper finds that, there exists a stable but, time-varying long-run relation between those. The observed variation in cointegrating relations is generally characterized by a discrete one-time shift, rather than a gradually evolving random walk process which is attributable to the IMF financial and economic crisis.

This paper studies the analysis of multivariate nonstationary time series with seasonality. Three types of multivariate time series models are considered: seasonal cointegration model, nonseasonal cointegration model with seasonal dummies, and vector autoregressive model in seasonal differences that are compared for forecasting performances using Korean macro-economic time series data. The cointegration models produce smaller forecast errors in short horizons; however, when longer forecasting periods are considered the vector autoregressive model appears preferable.

A voluminous research on efficiency employs the DEA(Data Envelope Analysis) models. There are, however, only very few that have an interest in the factors influencing such efficiencies. We, furthermore, do not see any studies which analyze the long-term efficiency of the logistics providers using the panel cointegration techniques. The purpose of this paper, hence, is to evaluate the efficiency, analyse its determinants and show a long-term relationship between turnover and the other variables employing the SBM(Slack Based Measure) model, Tobit model, the panel procedure and the FMOLS(Fully Modified OLS). The panel data are composed of 9 individuals and 6 years. The panel cointegrating vectors show that the group coefficient of asset and employees is not only significant but has expected signs, while some of the individual coefficients are insignificant or/and exhibit wrong signs. The panel cointegrating vectors from fully modified OLS also indicate that the estimated coefficients of the panel analysis tend to be overvalued and the asset influences the turnover far greater than the employee does.

This study uses a vector error correction model to analyze the daily time series data of the spot price of EUA (European Union Allowance). As endogenous variables, five variables are considered for the analysis, including prices of crude oil, natural gas, electricity and coal in addition to carbon price. Data period is Phase 2 period (April 21, 2008 to March 31, 2010) to avoid Phase 1 period (2005-2007) where the EUA prices were distorted. Unit-root and cointegration test results reveal that all variables have a unit root and cointegration vectors exist, so a vector error correction model is adopted instead of a vector autoregressive model.

This paper investigates the determinants of trade on Southeast Asia via Korean ports using monthly data. I employ Johansen cointegration methodology since the model must be stationary to avoid the spurious results. Johansen(1988) and Johansen and Juselius(1990) propose two statistics for testing the number of cointegrating vectors: the trace and maximum eigenvalue statistics. The null hypothesis that there is no cointegrating vector should be rejected at the 5% level. The results indicate that there is a long-run relationship between trade and variables. This also suggests that these variables have a meaningful equilibrium relationship between trade and variables would not move too far away from each other, displaying a comovement phenomenon for the export and import. Apparently, the error correction term reflects market information in a state of disequilibrium that is bound to be corrected when moving toward the long-run level.

The purpose of this paper is to examine determinants of export to the East Asia region, using panel unit root, panel cointegration framework, panel VECM (vector error correction model), panel FMOLS (fully modified OLS). Different panel unit root tests confirm that the data series are integrated processes with unit roots. When applying cointegration tests to long-run effect for aggregate panel data, a primary concern is to construct the estimators in a way that does not constrain the transitional dynamics to be similar among different countries of the panel. The regression equations are estimated by various panel cointegration estimators. The panel data causality results reveal that exchange rates has unidirectional effects on export and GDP, and there exists bidirectional causality between export and GDP. Also, the results from the panel FMOLS tests overwhelmingly reject the null hypothesis of zero coefficient. The panel cointegrating vectors show that the export has positive relationship with the GDP and ODI (overseas direct investment).

본고에서는 우리나라의 수출수요함수(輸出需要函數) 추정(推定)에 있어서 1) 통상적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 수출단가지수(輸出單價指數) 대신 수출물가지수(輸出物價指數)를 이용하고, 2) 공적분(共積分)벡터의 추정에 있어서 Engle and Granger(EG)의 정태적(靜態的) OLS 대신 효율적(效率的) 추정법(推定法)(efficient estimator)을 이용하여 수출(輸出)의 소득(所得) 및 가격탄성치(價格彈性値)를 추정(推定)하고자 하였다. 추정결과(推定結果) 소득탄성치(所得彈性値)는 어느 경우에나 큰 차이가 없었으나 가격탄성치(價格彈性値)에 있어서는 큰 차이가 발견되었다. 즉 수출단가(輸出單價)를 EG방법(方法)으로 추정(推定)한 경우에는 비탄력적(非彈力的)인 것으로, 수출물가(輸出物價)를 이용한 경우에는 단위탄력성(單位彈力性)을 갖는 것으로, 그리고 효율적(效率的) 추정법(推定法)을 이용한 경우에는 매우 탄력적(彈力的)인 것으로 판명되었다. 또 EG 방법을 이용한 경우에는 공적분관계(共積分關係)의 존재가 부정되었으나 효율적(效率的) 추정법(推定法)을 이용한 경우에는 유의(有意)한 공적분관계(共積分關係)가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.

If a cointegrating relation is affected by important economic and political events occurred in the sample period, the assumption of the time-invariant cointegrating vector is violated, which leads to the misrep-resentation of the actual relations between the variables. From such a viewpoint, this study utilizes the recursive estimation process in testing for the stability of the long-run equilibrium of the domestic stock market system and then attempts to develop the framework for stabilizing time-variant cointegraing relations by introducing the dummy variables where the structural changes are found to exist.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of stock price and real estate price on the money demand. We investigated the demand for money for 25 money units of 10 countries. To estimate the money demand functions, Johansen's cointegration and ARDL-bounds test were employed. Additionally, Stock and Watson's DOLS method was applied to estimate long-run cointegration vectors. According to the results of cointegration test, stock price and real estate price are crucial in the long-run equilibrium relationship. There were no cointegration relationships among money demand, real income, interest rate, and exchange rate in 12 money unit models. However, by including stock price and real estate price on the tested models, we could find strong cointegration relationships, using ARDL-bounds test. The results of DOLS confirm that stock price and real estate price are effective factors influencing on money demands. Especially, the coefficient of real estate price is statistically significant in the 19 out of 20 money unit models. However, the direction and magnitude of coefficients of asset prices are different across countries and money units.

본 연구는 선행연구들과 달리 경제변수로 설명할 수 없는 경제주체들의 심리적 요소가 주가에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 관점에서 주가와 거시경제변수 및 경제주체들의 기대심리간의 장기 균형 및 동학구조관계를 분석한다. 주가는 기업의 내재가치를 나타내며 이는 상당부분 현재와 미래의 경제상황에 의해 영향을 받을 것이다. 미래경제상황을 정확히 예측할 수는 없으나 경제 주체들은 미래경제상황을 예측하게 되며 그 예측은 주가에 반영될 수 있다. 검증결과 BSI 전망치와 같은 경제주체들의 기대심리가 주가결정에 가장 중요한 단일 변수인 것으로 나타났다. 이변량 공적분검증을 실시한 결과 실질주가지수는 BSI와 장기균형관계에 있는 반면 다른 거시경제변수와는 공적분관계에 있지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 다변량 공적분분석에서도 BSI가 포함된 경우에만 KOSPI/P와 장기균형관계에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 벡터오차수정모형으로 동태적 관계를 분석한 결과, 이변량과 다변량 분석 모두에서 이들 두 변수의 오차수정항이 통계적으로 유의하여 장기균형으로부터 이탈에 대하여 상호 조정하는 것으로 나타났다.
