4. Definition of Co-integration
The concept of cointegration was first introduced by Granger
(1981) and elaborated further by Engle and Granger (1987), Engle
and Yoo (1987), Phillips and Ouliaris (1990), Stock and Watson
(1988), Phillips (1986 and 1987) and johansen (1988, 1991,
1995a).
Time series Yt and Xt are said to be cointegrated of order d,
where d > 0, written as Yt, Xt ~ CI (d). If
(a) Both series are integrated of order d,
(b) There exists a linear combination of these variables.

5. Examples :
 The old woman and the boy are
unrelated to one another, except
that they are both on a random
walk in the park. Information
about the boy's location tells us
nothing about the old woman's
location.
The old man and the dog are joined by one of
those leashes that has the cord rolled up inside
the handle on a spring. Individually, the dog and
the man are each on a random walk. They cannot
wander too far from one another because of the
leash. We say that the random processes
describing their paths are cointegrated.

6. Approaches of Co-integration :
Engle-Granger (1987)
Used when only one co
integrating vector is
under consideration
Johansen and Juselius
(1990)
Used when more than one co
integrating vector are under
consideration

7. Conditions Of Co-integration :
If all variables are stationary on level , we use
OLS method of estimation.
 If all variables or single variable are stationary on first
difference , we use Co-integration Method.
 If all the variables are stationary on first difference , we
use Johnson Co-integration and ARDL also.
 If some variables are stationary on level and some are
stationary on first difference , we only use ARDL model.

8. Johansen and Juselius (1990) J.J
Co-integration :
 If all the variables are stationary on first difference , we
use Johnson Co-integration.
 Although Johansen’s methodology is typically used in a
setting where all variables in the system are I(1), having
stationary variables in the system is theoretically not an
issue and Johansen (1995) states that there is little need to
pre-test the variables in the system to establish their order
of integration.

9. Johansen Co-integration :
 Johansen, Is a procedure for testing cointegration of
several I(1) time series. This test permits more than one
cointegrating relationship so is more generally applicable
than the engle–granger test .
 Yt = α0 + α1x1t + α2x2t + et
 Yt = α0 + α1x1t + α2x1t-1 + α3x2t + α4x2t-1 + et

12. Definition of Error Correction Model
 If, then, Yr and Xt are cointegrated, by definition ftr ~ /
(0). Thus, we can express the relationship between Yt and
Xr with an ECM specification as:
ΔYt= a0 + b1ΔXt-μ^t-1 + Yt
 In this model, b1 is the impact multiplier (the short-run effect)
that measures the immediate impact that a change in Xt will
have on a change in Yt . On the other hand πt is the feedback
effect, or the adjustment effect, and shows how much of this
disequilibrium is being corrected.

15. Estimation of ECM value :
 If T value is 1.67 or more than 1.70 then we conclude that
variable is significant….
 OR when Tcal is > 1.70 or when Tcal = 1.67
 We conclude variable is significant…
 Where there’s –ve sign we consider it +ve as the value of
Linv is -4.62 we consider it +ve and conclude that the there is
+ve relationship between lpgdp and linv……
 In Coint Equ 1 the value of Lpgdp is -0.01 which shows
Convergence to equilibrium and 1 % convergance in one year
