Engle-Granger two-step procedure for testing co-
integration between two variables
Step1: Open the individual time series (Dependent- Y and independent
variable- X) and check for stationarity of time series (Y and X series) at
level and first difference. If both the time series are stationary at the
first difference, run the regression of dependent (Y) and independent
variable (X) and save the residual of the run regression.
Step 2: In step 2, now check the stationarity of the residuals saved. If
the residual saved from the above regression are stationary at level, the
X and Y variables are long-term cointegrated.
Conclusion: If the two-time series are co-integrated, this means there
is long-term equilibrium or relationship exist between the two.

Error Correction Mechanism/Model (ECM)
We previous seen in Engle-Granger two step procedure that when two time
series are cointegrated, there may exist long-term relationship/equilibrium
between them. But in the short-term there may be disequilibrium because of
the structural changes or shocks in the time series. The residuals/error term
obtained in the Engle-Granger two-step procedure is treated as the
“equilibrium error” in ECM models, to integrate the short-term relationship
between the series with their long-term relationship. For this the relationship
between X and Y can be expressed as ECM by running following equation
where the lagged error term (equilibrium error) is included in the model:
d(Y)= c+d(X)+residual(-1)
Note: if the coefficient of equilibrium error term is negative and significant, it
means the discrepancy between long-term and short term (Y) is getting
corrected each period. The coefficient of equilibrium error is known as “speed
of adjustment”.
