  18. 12.1.2 Random Walk Models

  19. UNIT ROOT Process-Estimation If the true data generating process is a random walk and you estimate an AR(1) by regressing y(t) on y(t-1), the OLS estimator is no longer asymptotically normally distributed and does not converge at the standard rate sqrt(T). Instead it converges to a limiting NON-NORMAL distribution that is tabulated by Dickey-Fuller Also , the OLS estimator converges at rate T and is SUPERCONSISTENT Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  20. UNIT ROOT Process-Estimation AS a consequence, the t-ratio statistics are not asymtptically normally distributed Instead, they have a NON-NORMAL limiting distribution, that was tabulated by Dickey-Fuller If you regress one unit root process on another the outcomes are meaningless (spurious) unless the processes are cointegrated Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  27. 12.3 Unit Root Test for Stationarity • 12.3.3 Dickey-Fuller Test 3 (with constant and with trend) Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  28. 12.3.4 The Dickey-Fuller Testing Procedure First step: plot the time series of the original observations on the variable. • If the series appears to be wandering or fluctuating around a sample average of zero, use test equation (12.5a). • If the series appears to be wandering or fluctuating around a sample average which is non-zero, use test equation (12.5b). • If the series appears to be wandering or fluctuating around a linear trend, use test equation (12.5c). Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  29. D-F test • In each case you consider the t-statistic on the coefficient of y(t-1), called gamma, which is equal to zero if the true data generating process process is a unit root process • That t-ratio is called “tau” and the critical values for tau are given in the table: Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  31. 12.3.4 The Dickey-Fuller Testing Procedure • An important extension of the Dickey-Fuller test allows for testing for unit root in AR(p) processes: AUGMENTED Dickey-Fuller. • The unit root tests with the intercept excluded or trend included in AR(p) have the same critical values of tau as the AR(1) Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  33. 12.3.6 Order of Integration Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  34. COINTEGRATION (Engle-Granger) • A regression of a unit root process on another(s) makes sense ONLY if they • are cointegrated i.e. satisfy a long run equilibrium and any departure from that equilibrium is eliminated by an Error Correction Model . • If the processes are cointegrated, the residuals of the regression are stationary • That regression represents the long run equilibrium Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  41. 12.5.2 Trend Stationary where and Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

  42. 12.5.2 Trend Stationary To summarize: • If variables are stationary, or I(1) and cointegrated, we can estimate a regression relationship between the levels of those variables without fear of encountering a spurious regression. • If the variables are I(1) and not cointegrated, we need to estimate a relationship in first differences, with or without the constant term. • If they are trend stationary, we can either de-trend the series first and then perform regression analysis with the stationary (de-trended) variables or, alternatively, estimate a regression relationship that includes a trend variable. The latter alternative is typically applied. Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition
