Approximate Asymptotic Distribution Functions for Unit-Root and Cointegration Tests

Author

  • MacKinnon, James G

Abstract

Monte Carlo experiments and response surface regressions are used to calculate approximate asymptotic distribution functions for a number of well-known unit root and cointegration test statistics. These allow empirical workers to calculate approximate P values for these tests. The results of the paper are based on an extensive set of Monte Carlo experiments, which yield finite-sample quantiles for several sample sizes. Response surface regressions are then used to obtain asymptotic quantiles for a large number of different test sizes. Finally, approximate distribution functions with simple functional forms are estimated from these asymptotic quantiles.
