Exercise 14

Consider a standard multiple linear regression model with time series data:

 Consider a standard multiple linear regression model with time series data:   Assume that Assumptions TS.1, TS.2, TS.3, and TS.4 all hold. (i) Suppose we think that the errors {<i>u</i><sub>t</sub>} follow an AR(1) model with parameter   and so we apply the Prais-Winsten method. If the errors do not follow an AR(1) model– for example, suppose they follow an AR(2) model, or an MA(1) model–why will the usual Prais-Winsten standard errors be incorrect? (ii) Can you think of a way to use the Newey-West procedure, in conjunction with Prais- Winsten estimation, to obtain valid standard errors? Be very specific about the steps you would follow. [Hint: It may help to study equation (12.32) and note that, if {<i>u</i><sub>t</sub>} does not follow an AR(1) process, <i>e</i><i>t </i>generally should be replaced by <i>   </i>where <i>   </i>is the probability limit of the estimator <i>   </i> Now, is the error   serially uncorrelated in general? What can you do if it is not?] (iii) Explain why your answer to part (ii) should not change if we drop Assumption TS.4.
