EVIEWS
r On the City University system, EVIEWS 3.1 is inStart/ Programs/ Departmental Software/CUBS
r Analysing stationarity in a single variable using VIEW
r Analysing cointegration among a group of variables
r Estimating an ECM model
r Estimating a VAR-ECM model

Data transformation
r Generate a series for the natural log of the FT500 index (lft500)
r Test for stationarity in
the level of this series the first difference of this series (dlft500)
r Results show that lft500 is an I(1) variable

Roy Batchelor 2000EVIEWS Tutorial 7
ADF results: level
The hypothesis thatlft500 has a unit rootcannot be rejected
The hypothesis thatlft500 has a unit rootcannot be rejected
Roy Batchelor 2000EVIEWS Tutorial 8
ADF test results: first difference
The hypothesis thatthe first difference oflft500 has a unit rootcan be rejected.
So lft500 is I(1)
The hypothesis thatthe first difference oflft500 has a unit rootcan be rejected.
So lft500 is I(1)

Cointegration: two variables
r The variables lft500 (log of stock index) and ldiv (log ofdividends per share) are both I(1)
r We can test whether they are cointegrated that is, whether a linear function of these is I(0) An example of a linear function is
lft500t = a0 + a1ldivt + utwhen ut = [lft500t - a0 - a1ldiv] might be I(0)
r The expression in brackets [] is called the cointegrating vector,which has normalised coefficients [ 1, -a0 , -a1 ]
