Johansen output - Help
Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2014 2:42 am
Hello everybody
I'm experiencing some difficulties in interpreting the output of the Johansen test for a set of 7 macroeconomic variables.
No problem with the interpretation of Trace and Max statistics, in this case the test detects the existence of 2 cointegrating equations.
Now I want to write out every single value of cointegrating coefficients. But how can I achieve this if, when looking at the 6th panel (the case with 2 coint. equations), the program automatically adjusts some of the coefficients to zero ??? As more cointegrating relationships are hypothesized, as more "strange" 0 and 1 coefficients appear.
I need clarification on this normalization process.
Thank you in advance :)
