On Multivariate Model Selection Involving Time Series of Environmental Kuznets Curve

摘要

This paper studies a generalized version of the relation between the sample correlation matrices of errors and their residuals. The results suggest confidence bands to select a proper multivariate time series model. The literature of Environmental Kuznets Curve received particular interest, however, the empirical research on the Environmental Kuznets Curve has mainly used a reduced form approach. Therefore, the proposed techniques can be applied to identify the multivariate relation between economicgrowth, environmental degradation and population. A real data application is provided for the case of Sweden.
