Abstract

Small deviations from exact unit roots can product large coverage rate distortions for conventional confidence sets for cointegrating coefficients (Elliott [1994]). We therefore propose new methods for constructing confidence sets for long-run coefficients with highly serially correlated regressors which do not necessarily have a unit root. Although the standard bootstrap is shown to be asymptotically invalid, a modified, valid bootstrap is developed. invariant confidence sets that are option (highest average accuracy) are obtained but are difficult to implement in practice. An approximately optimal invariant method is proposed; this works almost as well as the optimal method, at least for a single persistent regressor.
