Co-integration with score-driven models: an application to US real GDP growth, US inflation rate, and effective federal funds rate. Macroeconomic Dynamics, 27(1), 203-223.1365-1005https://hdl.handle.net/10016/38432Nonlinear co-integration is studied for score-driven models, using a new multivariate dynamic conditional score/generalized autoregressive score model. The model is named t-QVARMA (quasi-vector autoregressive moving average model), which is a location model for the multivariate t-distribution. In t-QVARMA, I(0) and co-integrated I(1) components of the dependent variables are included. For t-QVARMA, the conditions of the maximum likelihood estimator and impulse response functions (IRFs) are presented. A limiting special case of t-QVARMA, named Gaussian-QVARMA, is a Gaussian-VARMA specification with I(0) and I(1) components. As an empirical application, the US real gross domestic product growth, US inflation rate, and effective federal funds rate are studied for the period of 1954 Q3 to 2020 Q2. Statistical performance and predictive accuracy of t-QVARMA are superior to those of Gaussian-VAR. Estimates of the short-run IRF, long-run IRF, and total IRF impacts for the US data are reported.21eng© The Author(s), 2021.Atribución 3.0 EspañaNonlinear Co-integrationNonlinear common trendsDynamic conditional score (DCS)Generalized autoregressive score (GAS)Quasi-vector autoregressive moving average (QVARMA)research articleEconomíaEstadísticahttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S1365100521000365open access2031223Macroeconomic Dynamics27AR/0000032860
