Абстракт: We extend cointegration analysis to a situation where the first differences of the analyzed processes are so-called locally stationary processes (see, e.g., Dahlhaus, 1997) rather than stationary processes. This allows us to model long-run relationships between time series whilst allowing for more or less turbulent or persistent periods in the analysis. As is common in the cointegrating regression literature, we allow for regressor endogeneity and error serial correlation, now both time-varying because of our locally-stationary setup. The paper starts by developing the required functional central limit results for this setting which then allow showing that: First, the OLS estimator is consistent but its limiting distribution is contaminated by second-order bias terms, which differ, of course, from the bias terms arising in the standard context. Second, a localized version of the fully modified OLS estimator, originally considered in Phillips and Hansen (1990) for a standard cointegration setting, leads to a zero mean Gaussian mixture limiting distribution. An important difference to the standard cointegration setting is that fully modified based inference requires something like a HAC-type correction. The theoretical analysis is complemented by a simulation study as well as an empirical illustration with the forward rate unbiasedness hypothesis.
