Applying Granger causality test in addition to cointegration test like Vector Autoregression (VAR) helps detect the direction of causality. It also helps to identify which variable acts as a determining factor for another variable. This article shows how to apply Granger causality test in STATA.
empirical analysis with econometrics, STATA for data analysis, time series analysis, time series for econometricsHeteroskedastic means “differing variance” which comes from the Greek word “hetero” (‘different’) and “skedasis” (‘dispersion’). It refers to the variance of the error terms in a regression model in an independent variable.
assumption tests in STATA, empirical analysis with econometrics, STATA for data analysis, time series analysisThe previous article showed how to initiate the AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH) model on a financial stock return time series for period 1990 to 2016. It showed results for stationarity, volatility, normality and autocorrelation on a differenced log of stock returns.
STATA for data analysis, time series analysisVolatility only represents a high variability in a series over time.This article explains the issue of volatility in data using Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) model. It will identify the ARCH effect in a given time series in STATA.
empirical analysis with econometrics, STATA for data analysis, time series analysis, time series for econometricsThis article explains testing and diagnosing VECM in STATA to ascertain whether this model is correct or not. Among diagnostic tests, common ones are tested for autocorrelation and test for normality.

Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) is a special case of VAR which takes into account the cointegrating relations among the variables.
empirical analysis with econometrics, STATA for data analysis, time series analysis, time series for econometricsThe previous article showed lag selection and stationarity for Vector Auto Regression (VAR) with three variables; Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFC) and Private Final Consumption (PFC). This article shows the co-integration test for VAR with three variables.
empirical analysis with econometrics, STATA for data analysis, time series analysis, time series for econometricsThis article incorporates Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFC) and again performs the lag selection test and check for stationarity for both, GFC and PFC. Thus this article incorporates the VAR with three variables in STATA.
