value of 7.8.

The stationary variableITis assumed to enter in thezt− 1 vector in a level form.^23
 1 jare( 5 × 8 )and 2 jare( 2 × 8 )matrices of parameters on the dynamic terms of
all the variables.
To just identify the cointegrating vectors in the model,r^2 restrictions need to
be accepted, with each of thercointegrating equations having exactlyrrestric-
tions successfully applied, as demonstrated in Pesaran and Shin (2002).^24 Further,
Wickens and Motto (2001) show that when the cointegrating vectorα′in (18.20) is
exactly identified, additional overidentication lies in successfully applying restric-
tions on the loading matrix γ.^25 By applying these procedures, it could, in
principle, be possible to derive an equation like (18.18) from the conditional model
(18.20), if all the required restrictions on the long-run vectors and the loading
matrix needed to get from (18.20) to a single equation of the form of (18.18) were
