Johansen’s (2000. “A Bartlett Correction Factor for Tests of on the Cointegrating Relations.” Econometric Theory 16: 740–78) Bartlett correction factor for the LR test of linear restrictions on cointegrated vectors is derived under the i.i.d. Gaussian assumption for the innovation terms. However, the distribution of most data relating to financial variables is fat-tailed and often skewed; there is therefore a need to examine small sample inference procedures that require weaker assumptions for the innovation term. This paper suggests that using the non-parametric bootstrap to approximate a Bartlett-type correction provides a statistic that does not require specification of the innovation distribution and can be used by applied econometricians to perform a small sample inference procedure that is less computationally demanding than it’s analytical counterpart. The procedure involves calculating a number of bootstrap values of the LR test statistic and estimating the expected value of the test statistic by the average value of the bootstrapped LR statistic. Simulation results suggest that the inference procedure has good finite sample property and is less dependent on the parameter space of the data generating process.
