Further Issues in Using OLS with
Time Series Data
Recall that in the last lecture we covered six
assumptions, TS.1 through TS.6, under which OLS
has exactly the same desirable properties, in a finite
sample as for cross-sectional analysis
cov ( yt , yt +h ) = E ⎡⎣( yt − E ( yt ) ) ( yt +h − E ( yt +h ) ) ⎤⎦
= E ⎡⎣( yt )( yt +h ) ⎤⎦
= E ⎡⎣ ρ1h yt2 + ρ1h−1 yt et +1 + ... + ρ1 yt et +h−1 + yt et +h ⎤⎦
= ρ1hσ y2
Stationary and Weakly Dependent
Time Series
Finally, because σy is the standard deviation of both
yt and yt+h, the cor(yt, yt+h)=ρ1h
test goutphr+goutph_1=1
F(1,36) = 0.84
P-value = 0.3660
Thus, we cannot reject H0 as the p-value is well below
the usual significance levels of 10 or 5%
Computer Exercise C11.2
Does goutphrt-2 need to be in the model? Explain.
