  1. Economics 310 Lecture 27 Distributed Lag Models

  2. Type of Models • If the regression model includes not only the current but also the the lagged (past) values of the explanatory variables (the X’s) it is called a distributed-lag model. • If the model includes one or more lagged values of the dependent variable among its explanatory variables, it is called an autoregressive model. This model is know as a dynamic model.

  3. Key Questions • What is the role of lags in economics? • What are the reasons for the lags? • Is there any theoretical justification for the commonly used lagged models in empirical econometrics? • What is the relationship between autoregressive and distributed lag models? • What are the statistical estimation problems?

  4. Role of “Time” or “lag” in Economics

  6. Example Distributed Lag Model

  7. Reasons for Lags • Psychological Reasons • Technological Reasons • Institutional Reasons

  8. Estimation of Distributed Lag Models

  9. Problems of Ad-hoc Estimation • No a priori guide to length of lag. • Longer lags => less degrees of freedom • Multicollinearity • Data mining

  10. Koyck Lag

  11. Properties of Koyck Lag

  12. Table of Mean & Median Lags

  13. Problems with koyck Model • We converted a distributed lag model to autoregressive model. • Lag dependent variable on RHS may not be independent of new error • Error term is MA(1). • Model does not satisfy conditions for Durbin-Watson d-test. Must use Durbin h-test.

  14. Gasoline Consumption Example of Koyck Lag

  15. Koyck Lags • Economic rational for Koyck model • Adaptive Expectations • Partial Adjustment • Estimation of Autoregressive models • Method of Instrumental Variables • Detecting autocorrelation • Durbin h-test

  16. Adaptive Expectation Model

  17. Facts about Adaptive Expectation model • Expected value of the independent variable is weighted average of the present and all past values of X. • The estimating equation has a MA(1) process error term.

  18. Partial Adjustment model

  19. Properties of partial adjustment model • Estimating equation looks like Koyck but is different as far as estimation is concerned • Error term is well behaved • In the limit the lagged dependent variable is uncorrelated with the error term • model can be estimated consistently by OLS

  20. Estimating Koyck model • Model can be estimated by maximum likelihood. This is difficult. • Simple method of estimation is instrumental variables.

  21. Instrumental Variable Estimation

  22. Instrumental Variable Estimation Continued

  23. Properties of IV estimators • Estimators are consistent • Estimators are asymptotically unbiased. • Parameter estimates will not be as efficient as the maximum likelihood estimates, but are easier to do.
