Notes: denotes the number of cointegrating vectors; the 5% critical values of the Trace statistics are taken from Osterwald-Lenum [45]; asterisk () denotes the rejection of the hypothesis of no cointegration at 5% significance level; critical values for Bartlett corrected trace test is based on Doornik [46]; Bartlett corrected trace test is computed using SVAR 0.45 (http://www.texlips.net/svar/); the top panel reports the tests for the case of Japanese yen and the bottom panel of the table reports the tests for the case of Euro.
