Dear brother,

Can you please tell me how to install the add in for gregory hansen cointegration in eviews8

This is not an add-in. Just copy-paste the code into a new program window and change only the part above the subroutine before running it.

Dear Mr. Trubador, thank you very much for sharing. Your post really help me in conducting my research. I really appreciate if you could also share on how to conduct the unit root test with break proposed by Narayan and Popp (2010) and Johansen, Mosconi & Nielsen (2000) cointegration test with break. You kind help is highly appreciated :)

I have found the program file for Johansen et al (2000) from Prof. Dave Giles website. However, I am not sure on how can I conduct the test. Hope you can help.

' COMPUTATION OF ASYMPTOTIC CRITICAL VALUES FOR THE H(c) and H(L) COINTEGRATION TESTS WHEN THERE ARE 2 or 3 STRUCTURAL BREAKS
' =============================================================

' Written by David Giles, Dept. of Economics, University of Victoria.
' Last Modified: 28 June, 2011.

' The total sample size is T. The number of sub-samples due to the structural breaks is "q". So, q=2 corresponds to one structural break, and q=3 corresponds to 2 structural breaks. If q=1 there are no structural breaks.
' The break-points occur at T1, when q=2, and at T1 and T2, when q=3.
' The break-point proportions are V1=(T1/T), when q=2; and V1 and V2=(T2/T), when q=3.
' (If q=2, the value of V2 below is not used)

' r = cointegrating rank
' p = no. of variables in system

' To cross-check the results for the H(c) test with the last column of Table 5 in Johansen et al., set q=1 (V1 and V2 can be left at their current values as they will not be used)
'===================================
' EDIT THE NEXT 3 LINES, AS APPROPRIATE:

scalar q=3
scalar V1=0.3
scalar V2=0.85

scalar traceC=114.7

' The values of "a" and "b" depend on the number (q-1) of structural breaks.
' When q=2, we set a=0 in Table 4 of Johansen et al. (2000) & b = min[ V1 , (1-V1)]
' When q=3, we set a=min[V1, (V2-V1), (1-V2)] & b = min[remaining two V expressions ]

Please, I am new in using EVIEWS 9. I wish to perform the Gregory-Hansen ; and Hatemi -J cointegration test . I have copied the codes stated above into the proceedure shown( File/New/Program). I have also edited to suit my variables. Now, what do i do next to run the following 1. Gregory Hansen cointegration test and 2. Hatemi-J cointegration test.
Thank you.

Dear Trubador,

Assuming we do find evidence of cointegration, how would we proceed with our analysis if we had to estimate a VECM? How would the structural break or regime change be modelled in EViews? Would it suffice to simply split the sample into two sub-periods and estimate two models?

I appreciate any guidance,

Kahn.

Would it be valid to use the GH test for multiple series at once?

Dear trubador,
I know NOTHING about subroutines on Eviews but i need to learn them for my master thesis. I am a student of Economics but unfortunately we didn't learn on time how to work on Eviews.
Basically, you wrote a subroutine for this G-H test, that I need to apply to my time-series variables. How can I do that? I mean, I should just substitute my variables putting them in your subroutine and then press "run". How to do that?

Thanks a lot, you can save me!
Alberto

Probably the best thing to do is to learn about subroutines.

Hello Trubador,

Thanks very much for your code.

I'm using EViews 9 and I got the following error message:
"Near singular matrix error. Regressors may be perfectly collinear in "DO_ GHC.LS Y C (@TREND>9-2) G"
I've tested for different values of scalar Model (2 to 4); the same error message appears.

Please find attached my data and the program.

Many thanks!

Hello Trubador,

I found this post; Thinking my problem was related, I run you suggestion but I still get the same error message.

Thanks again.

Hello startz,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Sorry, I can't grasp the implications of your answer. What should I do to fix the problem?

Best regards, Mara

Perhaps just delete that variable.

Hi,

I would like to know, how to apply Gregory - Hansen Cointegration Test using Eviews 10?
Taking into account that I have Y as the dependent variable and X1, X2 and X3 as the independent variables

Best wishes,
Salwan
