Fourier Engle-Granger Cointegration Test
The Fourier Engle-Granger cointegration test extends the classic two-step Engle-Granger procedure by embedding low-frequency trigonometric (Fourier) terms in the cointegrating regression. This accommodates an unknown number of smooth structural breaks in the deterministic components without specifying their dates, producing a more powerful test when long-run relationships shift gradually over time.
