[R-SIG-Finance] [R-sig-finance] A VaR question

[RON70]

I want to make another point here. My question is can I take "co" matrix as
DGP for a VAR? Here I calculated the roots for the ch. equation :

A2 = A1 = co
library(PolynomF) 
  z = polynom() 
 
 
 p11 <- 1 - A1[1,1]*z - A2[1,1]*z^2
 p12 <- 0 - A1[1,2]*z - A2[1,2]*z^2
 p13 <- 0 - A1[1,3]*z - A2[1,3]*z^2
 
 
 p21 <- 0 - A1[2,1]*z - A2[2,1]*z^2
 p22 <- 1 - A1[2,2]*z - A2[2,2]*z^2 
 p23 <- 0 - A1[2,3]*z - A2[2,3]*z^2 
 
 p31 <- 0 - A1[3,1]*z - A2[3,1]*z^2 
 p32 <- 0 - A1[3,2]*z - A2[3,2]*z^2 
 p33 <- 1 - A1[3,3]*z - A2[3,3]*z^2 
 
 p <- p11*(p22*p33 - p23*p32) - p12*(p21*p33 - p23*p31) + p13*(p21*p32 -
p22*p31) 
 
 
 >  abs(solve(p)) 
[1] 1.6920982 1.5520308 1.4688865 0.4688865 0.5520308 0.6920982

You see there is no unit root, which is one of the fandamental properties
for a co-integrated VAR DGP.

Best,
