This monograph provides an insightful analysis of dynamic modelling in econometrics by bridging the structural with the time series approaches, and by focusing on representation theorems of integrated processes. The book provides mainly a self-contained, rigorous as well as innovative, analytic setting to guide formulation and solution in closed form of vector autoregressive (VAR) models with unit roots. The second edition implements the latest research work by the second author on linear matrix polynomials whence a further breakthought on the topic is gained. Its emphasis is placed on representation theorems, conjugating an elegant reappraisal of classical results with original insights which widen their information content. A unified representation theorem of new conception is established, which duly shapes the contours of the cointegration features of VAR solutions, providing not only a contribution to clarity but also new stimuli in this fascinating field of research as a spin-off.

From the reviews of the second edition:
“Researchers and postgraduate students in time series econometrics, statistics, matrix mathematics and other related areas. … provide an insightful analysis of dynamic modelling in econometrics by a self-contained and analytic setting to guide formulation and solution in closed form of vector autoregressive models with unit roots. … The presentation of the book is given in theorem-proof style with definitions, lemmas, theorems … . The book is very welcome, as it (again) proves that matrix results … are applicable and useful in dealing with real-world issues.” (Shuangzhe Liu, International Statistical Review, Vol. 78 (1), 2010)
