摘要:Previous literature has introduced causality tests with conventional limiting
distributions in I(0)/I(1) vector autoregressive (VAR) models with unknown in-
tegration orders, based on an additional surplus lag in the specication of the
estimated equation, which is not included in the tests. By extending this surplus
lag approach to an innite order VARX framework, we show that it can provide
a highly persistence-robust Granger causality test that accommodates i.a. sta-
tionary, nonstationary, local-to-unity, long-memory, and certain (unmodelled)
structural break processes in the forcing variables within the context of a single
2 null limiting distribution.
