Thanks you for your reply.
But how then do I test for cointegration between the variables in the model? I was made to believe that the only way of finding cointegrating verctors was by doing the -vecrank- and -vec- commands.
So do I use the var model and then -vargranger -to test for granger causality
and then -vec- and -vecrank- commands to test for cointegration?
Kind Regards

Do I run the regression of one variable on the other with appropriate lags and then do an f-test to test whether these lags of the indepndent variable are equal to zero? And what command tdo I use to see what lag length to use -> I used -varsoc- is that right?
