Date   Mon, 27 Jun 2005 16:56:32 -0400

Hi, all: After running a var in first differences, 4 lags, I use vargranger to
run a pair-wise causality test. The output is as follows. How do I interpret
the causality test result?

. var  bp_level lnpetrol lndomcred if cnum==1,lags(1/4)

Vector autoregression

Sample:  1979q2   1989q3                           No. of obs      =        42
