A Pitfall in Using the Characterization of Granger Non-Causality in Vector Autoregressive Models

It is well known that in a vector autoregressive (VAR) model Granger non-causality is characterized by a set of restrictions on the VAR coefficients. This characterization has been derived under the assumption of non-singularity of the covariance matrix of the innovations. This note shows that if th...
