In this context "deterministic" seems wrong, because you can add any variable
you like. "Exogenous"
may not be precise, but at least it's correct. So I think john w is right and it
should be changed
(that way it's also consistent with the vecm formulation).
Well, as the Brits say, "you can, but you may not"! Anyway, if the word
"dterministic" is perceived as (potentially) misleading, that's a
good enough reason to change it IMO.
