Abstract

The author derives some exact finite sample disbibutions and characterizes the tail behavior of maximum likelihood estimators of the cointegrating coefficients in error correction models. The reduced rank regression estimator has a distribution with Cauchy-like tails and no finite moments of integer order. The maximum likelihood estimator of the coefficients in a particular triangular system representation has matrix t-distribution tails with finite integer moments to order T - n + r, where T is the sample size, n is the total number of variables, and r is the dimension of cointegration space. This helps explain some recent simulation studies where extreme outliers occur more frequently for the reduced rank regression estimator than for alternative asymptotically efficient procedures based on triangular representation.
