Robust Johansen Cointegration

The Robust Johansen Cointegration test extends the classical Johansen (1988, 1991) likelihood-ratio framework for determining the cointegrating rank of a multivariate I(1) system to settings where standard Gaussian assumptions fail — in particular when the data exhibit outliers, fat-tailed innovations, or conditional heteroskedasticity. Robust modifications adjust residuals, re-weight observations, or bootstrap critical values so that rank inference remains valid under these violations.
