We provide a shrinkage type methodology which allows for simultaneous model selection and estimation of vector error correction models (VECM) when the dimension is large and can increase with sample size. Model determination is treated as a joint selection problem of cointegrating rank and autoregressive lags under respective practically valid sparsity assumptions. We show consistency of the selection mechanism by the resulting Lasso-VECM estimator under very general assumptions on dimension, rank and error terms. Moreover, with computational complexity of a linear programming problem only, the procedure remains computationally tractable in high dimensions.

We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach by a simulation study and an empirical application to recent CDS data after the financial crisis. Vector Autoregression (VAR) is a widely used method for learning complex interrelationship among the components of multiple time series. Over the years it has gained popularity in the fields of control theory, statistics, economics, finance, genetics and neuroscience. We consider the problem of estimating stable VAR models in a high-dimensional setting, where both the number of time series and the VAR order are allowed to grow with sample size. In addition to the "curse of dimensionality" introduced by a quadratically growing dimension of the parameter space, VAR estimation poses considerable challenges due to the temporal and cross-sectional dependence in the data. Under a sparsity assumption on the model transition matrices, we establish estimation and prediction consistency of 1 -penalized least squares and likelihood based methods.

Exploiting spectral properties of stationary VAR processes, we develop novel theoretical techniques that provide deeper insight into the effect of dependence on the convergence rates of the estimates. We study the impact of error correlations on the estimation problem and develop fast, parallelizable algorithms for penalized likelihood based VAR estimates. Summary We consider the problem of estimating sparse vector autoregression (VAR) via penalized precision matrices. This matrix is the output of the underlying directed acyclic graph of the VAR process, whose zero components correspond to the zero coefficients of the graphical representation of the VAR. The sparsity-based precision matrix estimator is deduced from the D-trace loss with convex and nonconvex penalty functions. We establish the consistency of the penalized estimator and provide the conditions for which all true zero entries of the precision matrix are actually estimated as zero with probability tending to one.

The relevance of the method is supported by simulated experiments and a real data application.
