Abstract: This paper proposes a test of the rank of the submatrix of β, where β is a cointegrating matrix. In addition, the submatrix of β⊥, an orthogonal complement to β, is investigated. We construct the test statistic by using the eigenvalues of the quadratic form of the submatrix. We show that the test statistic has a limiting chi-square distribution when data are nontrending, whereas for trending data we have to consider a conservative test or other testing procedure that requires the pretest of the structure of the matrix. Finite sample simulations show that, although the simulation settings are limited, the proposed test works well for nontrending data, whereas we have to carefully use the test for trending data because it may become too conservative in some cases.I owe special thanks to two anonymous referees, the co-editor, Pierre Perron, and Taku Yamamoto.
