[R-SIG-Finance] [R-sig-finance] A question on VECM

Right now I am not interested on estimation however trying to convince myself
to justify this statement "normalization is always possible if variables
arranged properly". I am trying to answer "why and how it is always
possible?"

PS: we know that having information on C.I. matrix does not improve coef
estimation as rate of convergence for C.I. coef are much faster than rest.
