Hi! I want to use an Augmented Engle-Granger cointegratoin approach to ARDL, where the VEC contain first differences form from the ARDL, since I'll loose valuable simultaneous year correlation with ordinary VEC. Now, how many lags in the Augmented Engle-Granger cointegratoin should I use? Also, can I just include dummy varibales in the original regression, from which I build the Augmented Engle-Granger cointegratoin, in order to account for structural breaks?
This is a paper on Augmented Engle-Granger cointegratoin approach to ARDL: https://www.google.se/search?q=LAG+LENGTH+SPECIFICATION+IN+ENGLE-GRANGER+COINTEGRATION+TEST:+A+MODIFIED+KOYCK+MEAN+LAG+APPROACH+BASED+ON+PARTIAL+CORRELATION&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=-qkmVt-PAYKfsAHM-L-4Cw
