Structural Break Engle-Granger Cointegration Test

The structural break Engle-Granger cointegration test, most commonly implemented via the Gregory-Hansen (1996) procedure, extends the classical Engle-Granger two-step test to allow for a single unknown structural break in the long-run cointegrating relationship. It tests whether two or more integrated series share a common stochastic trend even when that relationship may have shifted at some point in the sample.
