Our discussion follow the question, how to test the Granger causality
after VEC. Really, I have never tried that. I usually practice it
after VAR which using versions of vargranger. Your querry was about
testing it after VEC. I hope the discussion has led you to guess like
a practioners. I would appreciate it if you just read the Enders:
Applied Econometric Time Series, 2nd Edition. It exposes well how to
follow time series analysis. Also read the time series manual of stata
to check how to do things.
Best wishes
