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

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!
