Testing non-identifying restrictions on the long-run relations
Specify either the number of free parameters or the number of restrictions
The LR test statistic:
How many ’same restrictions’ can we impose on β? When the test rejects!

Testing hypotheses on a single beta relation Counting degrees of freedom:of the restricted vector r-1 restrictions and 1 normalization without testing additional restrictions change the likelihood function
