Description
Summary:A family of cointegrated vector autoregressive models with adjusted short-run dynamics is introduced. These models can describe evolving short-run dynamics in a more flexible way than standard vector autoregressions, and yet likelihood analysis is based on reduced rank regression using conventional asymptotic tables. The family of dynamics-adjusted vector autoregressions consists of three models: a model subject to short-run parameter changes, a model with partial short-run dynamics and a model with short-run explanatory variables. An empirical illustration using US gasoline prices is presented, together with some simulation experiments.
