Asymmetric ECM

Postby 1ci » Tue May 07, 2013 9:11 am

Dear ALL,

I have a question concerning the ECM - how can I estimate the positive and negative changes of these models?
So how can I transform a symmetric Error Correction Model into an asymmetric ECM?

Please help!

You can try Enders and Siklos (2001) cointegration and threshold adjustment procedure: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5604

First, make sure that EViews version 7.1 or higher is installed on your machine. Just download the add-in and run the installation program. A folder named "tarcoint" will be added probably to ...\Documents\EViews Addins. Read the instructions in the tarcoint.pdf file...

You can unzip and retrieve the file, but it will not be much of a help since it explains how to use the add-in.

thank you.. I think its not possible to open the file..

Can you probably explain how to separate a variable into two different variables? like ∆PCt into ∆PC+ and ∆PC−?? in order to check the relation of the independent variable to positive changes (increase of PC) and negative changes (decrease of PC)??

Thank you!

can I define it like this: ΔPt*(ΔPt>0) ΔPt*(ΔPt<0) ?
Thank you.

Correct. For a more general use you can also try the following:

Code: Select all

series dpc_plus = @recode(d(pc)>0,d(pc),0)
series dpc_minus = @recode(d(pc)<0,d(pc),0)

For instance, you might want to replace 0 with NA.
Please refer to the manual for more details.
