Selection of the truncation lag in structural VARS or (VECMs) with long-run restrictions / by Alain DeSerres and Alain Guay. : FB3-2/95-9E-PDF

The authors examine the issue of lag-length selection in the context of a structural vector autoregression (VAR) and a vector error-correction model with long-run restrictions. First, they show that imposing long-run restrictions implies, in general, a moving-average (MA) component in the stationary multivariate representation. Then they examine the sensitivity of estimates of the permanent and transitory components to the selection of the lag length required in a VAR system to approximate this MA component.--Abstract
