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

[John Frain]

Lutkepohl is splitting up the system into r stationary components or
ecm's and n-r trends.  He uses this ordering to show that that this
can be done.  The stationary components and the ecm's only enter the
system at lag 1.  The stationary components do not and should not
enter the ecm's.  If you do have stationary variables this is testable
and may be imposed at estimation.
