Notes: “NC” denotes that the weak exogeneity test statistic could not be calculated for IL and NZ, while “ND” denotes that this test statistic is not defined for LNRGDPSA for the USA since this variable is assumed to be endogenous for this country. p* and q* are determined by BIC (Lütkepohl, 2005). ri corresponds to the number of hypothesized cointegration relations that cannot be rejected anymore by the cointegration trace statistic at the 5 percent significance level (Johansen, 1991, 1995; MacKinnon et al., 1999; Pesaran et al., 2000), while italic ri values denote the presence of cointegration. Adjusted R2 values greater than 0.5 are given in italics. Weak exogeneity F-test statistics in italics denote that they are below their 5 percent critical values (Harbo et al., 1998; Johansen, 1992)
