This paper provides a theoretical fractional cointegration analysis in a nonparametric framework. We solve a generalized eigenvalues problem. To this end, a couple of random matrices are constructed taking into account the stationarity properties of the differencesof a fractional p-variate integrated process. These difference orders are assumed to vary in a continuous and discrete range. The random matrices are defined by some weight functions. Asymptotic behaviors of these random matrices are obtained by stating some conditions on the weight functions, and by using Bierens (1997) and Andersen et al.(1983) results. In this way, a nonparametric analysis is provided. Moving from the solution of the generalized eigenvalue problem, a fractional nonparametric VAR model for cointegration is also presented.
