In this story we will shed some light on something quite unsettling regarding time series conintegration, that is model overfitting. Usually, we associate overfitting with other kinds of models, but not with conintegration, after all, if we find a stationary linear combination isn’t that enough? It turns out that it is not.

When we increase the …
