Ch. 24 Johansen's mle for Cointegration We have so far considered only single-equation estimation and testing for cointe- gration. While the estimation of single equation is convenient and often consis- tent, for some purpose only estimation of a system provides sufficient information This is true, for example, when we consider the estimation of multiple cointe- grating vectors, and inference about the number of such vectors. This chapter examines methods of finding the cointegrating rank and derive the asymptotic
