The Wald test is proposed for examining the presence of threshold nonlinearity in cointegrating relationship within triangular representation. The null linear asymptotic distributions are derived, and the asymptotic critical values are presented. Numerical simulations show the finite sample performance of the tests. Threshold effect are found in the term structure model of interest rates using the proposed methods.
