内容简介：

Chen et al. (2013) provide the limit distribution of quasi restricted maximum likelihood ratio test (QRLRT), based on the weighted least squares approximation of the restricted likelihood (WLSRL). Their result shows that the limit distribution of QRLRT is well approximated by λ?(1) when the predictor follows a stationary, local to unity, mildly unit root or unit root process. In this paper, we first provide the limit distribution of restricted maximum likelihood ratio test (RLRT) based on its Taylor series expansion. This expansion formula also helps to develop the limit distribution of RLRT in more general cases, such as multivariate predictors. Further, we explore the role of intercept term in predictive regression for both estimation and inference. It is worthy noticing that the RLRT by Chen and Deo (2009) fails if the true data generating process of the predictor has an intercept. We provide an explanation for this point based on the localizing drift specification (Phillips et al. 2013).
