Folks,
Is there any implementation available in R for the simultaneous selection of lag order and rank of a nonstationary VAR as described in Chao & Phillips (1999): Model selection in partially nonstationary vector autoregressive processes with reduced rank structure, J. Econ. (91).
Or any other systematic procedure for the consistent selection of lag order and cointegration rank? 
I understand that the usual procedure of first selecting the lag order (by AIC, etc.) and then the rank (by Johansen) can result in misspecification.
Thanks,
