Hello Greg,
 
you include your trend as a (Nx1) matrix and use this for 'dumvar'. The matrix 
'dumvar' is just added to the VECM as deterministic regressors and while you 
are referring to case 5, this is basically what you are after, if I am not 
mistaken. But we aware that this implies a quadratic trend for the levels.
 
Best,
Bernhard

        Hello Bernhard, 

        Thank You very much. Unfortunately I'm still not really sure how should 
I use dummy vars in this context...
        If I have a system of three variables (x, y, z), lag order = 2 and 1 
cointegrating relation, what should I do? I mean, what kind of 'pattern' should 
be used to create those dummy variables, what should they represent and how 
many of them do I need?

        Many thanks in advance!

        Best,
        Greg

                Hello Greg,
                
                you can exploit the argument 'dumvar' for this. See ?ca.jo
                
                Best,
                Bernhard
