Fractionally integrated curve time series with cointegration
We introduce methods and theory for fractionally cointegrated curve time series. We develop a variance ratio test to determine the dimensions associated with the nonstationary and stationary subspaces. For each subspace, we apply a local Whittle estimator to estimate the long-memory parameter and establish its consistency. A Monte Carlo study of finite-sample performance is included, along with an empirical application.
