In macro-econometrics more attention needs to be paid to the relationships among deterministic trends of different variables, or co-trending, especially when economic growth is of concern. The number of relationships, i.e., the co-trending rank, plays an important role in evaluating the veracity of propositions, particularly relating to the Japanese economic growth in view of the structural changes involved within it. This book demonstrates how to determine the co-trending rank from a given set of time series data for different variables. At the same time, the method determines how many of the co-trending relations also represent cointegrations. This enables us to perform statistical inference on the parameters of relations among the deterministic trends. Co-trending is an important contribution to the fields of econometric methods, macroeconomics, and time series analyses.

Caracteristici

A research monograph on the time series econometric methods that are applied to macro-economic studies It builds upon the results on cointegrated VAR by Professors Granger and Johansen, but turns its focus from the stochastic integrated components to the relations among the deterministic trends of different variables It provides methods to investigate the economic growth in the circumstances where the growth rates are subjected to structural changes Though the authors have been motivated by the Japanese economic growth, the book is hoped to find applicability to other countries as well
