The model so far assumes that the
observations are not correlated with one
another.
This is believable if one has drawn a random
sample, but less likely if one has drawn
observations sequentially in time
Time series observations, which are drawn at
regular intervals, usually embody a structure
where time is an important component.
Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition

If we cannot completely model this structure
in the regression function itself, then the
remainder spills over into the unobserved
component of the statistical model (its error)
and this causes the errors be correlated with
one another.

The existence of AR(1) errors implies:

The least squares estimator is still a linear and unbiased estimator, but
it is no longer best. There is another estimator with a smaller
variance.

The standard errors usually computed for the least squares estimator
are incorrect. Confidence intervals and hypothesis tests that use these
standard errors may be misleading.
Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition
Slide 9-17
As with heteroskedastic errors, you can salvage OLS when
your data are autocorrelated.
 Now you can use an estimator of standard errors that is
robust to both heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation
proposed by Newey and West.
 This estimator is sometimes called HAC, which stands for
heteroskedasticity autocorrelated consistent.

Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition
Slide 9-18
HAC is not as automatic as the heteroskedasticity consistent
(HC) estimator.
 With autocorrelation you have to specify how far away in
time the autocorrelation is likely to be significant
 The autocorrelated errors over the chosen time window are
averaged in the computation of the HAC standard errors;
you have to specify how many periods over which to
average and how much weight to assign each residual in
that average.
 That weighted average is called a kernel and the number of
errors to average is called bandwidth.

Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Editio
Slide 9-19



Usually, you choose a method of averaging (Bartlett kernel or Parzen
kernel) and a bandwidth (nw1, nw2 or some integer). Often your
software defaults to the Bartlett kernel and a bandwidth computed
based on the sample size, N.
Trade-off: Larger bandwidths reduce bias (good) as well as precision
(bad). Smaller bandwidths exclude more relevant autocorrelations
(and hence have more bias), but use more observations to increase
precision (smaller variance).
Choose a bandwidth large enough to contain the largest
autocorrelations. The choice will ultimately depend on the frequency
of observation and the length of time it takes for your system to adjust
to shocks.

Now this transformed nonlinear model has errors that are uncorrelated over time
Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition
Slide 9-23
It can be shown that nonlinear least squares estimation of (9.24) is
equivalent to using an iterative generalized least squares estimator
called the Cochrane-Orcutt procedure. Details are provided in
Appendix 9A.
Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition
Slide 9-24




The nonlinear least squares estimator only requires that the errors be
stable (not necessarily stationary).
Other methods commonly used make stronger demands on the data,
namely that the errors be covariance stationary.
Furthermore, the nonlinear least squares estimator gives you an
unconditional estimate of the autocorrelation parameter, , and yields a
simple t-test of the hypothesis of no serial correlation.
Monte Carlo studies show that it performs well in small samples as
well.
Principles of Econometrics, 3rd Edition
Slide 9-25

But nonlinear least squares requires more computational power than
linear estimation, though this is not much of a constraint these days.

Nonlinear least squares (and other nonlinear estimators) use
numerical methods rather than analytical ones to find the minimum of
your sum of squared errors objective function. The routines that do
this are iterative.

Slide 9-32
The other way to determine whether or not your residuals
are autocorrelated is to use an LM (Lagrange multiplier) test.
For autocorrelation, this test is based on an auxiliary
regression where lagged OLS residuals are added
to the original regression equation. If the coefficient on the
lagged residual is significant then you conclude that the
model is autocorrelated.

This model is just a generalization of the ones
previously discussed.
In this model you include lags of the dependent variable
(autoregressive) and the contemporaneous and lagged
values of independent variables as regressors
(distributed lags).
The acronym is ARDL(p,q) where p is the maximum
distributed lag and q is the maximum autoregressive lag
