Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The talk will review the recent literature on stochastic trends and cointegration in large dimensional multivariate time series and present new results on estimation and inference in these systems. The limit distributions of empirical eigenvalues and eigenvectors associated with alternative novel Canonical Correlations Analyses (CCA) will be discussed. It will be shown how these CCA deliver estimators of the number of common trends and of a basis of the common trends loadings space. (Super-)consistency as well as the asymptotic distributions of estimators are derived. The properties of the estimators are compared with existing alternatives both theoretically and via Monte Carlo simulations.
