3 1. Stationarity and Deviation from Stationarity

4 Stationarity The main assumption on the time series data so far has been stationarity. Recall the definition: Weak stationarity A time series is called weakly stationary if E(y t) = µ V (y t) = E((y t µ) 2 ) = γ 0 Cov(y t, y t k ) = E((y t µ) (y t k µ)) = γ k for k = 1, 2,... This can be violated in different ways. Examples of non-stationarity: 1 Deterministic trends (trend stationarity). 2 Level shifts. 3 Variance changes. 4 Unit roots (stochastic trends).

6 (A) Trend-Stationarity Observation: Many macro-economic variables are trending. How should we model the relationship between trending variables? Assume that z t is stationary and that y t is z t plus a deterministic linear trend, e.g., Remarks: z t = θz t 1 + ɛ t, θ < 1, and y t = z t + µ 0 + µ 1t. 1 y t has a trending mean, E(y t) = µ 0 + µ 1 t, and is non-stationary. 2 The de-trended variable, z t = y t µ 0 µ 1 t, is stationary. y t is trend-stationary. 3 We may analyze the OLS-detrended variable, ẑ t = y t µ 0 µ 1 t. Standard asymptotics apply to regressions with ẑ t. 4 This is equivalent to extending the regression with a deterministic trend, e.g., y t = β 0 + β 1 x t + β 3 t + ɛ t. Econometrics II Non-Stationary Time Series and Unit Root Testing Slide 6/35

7 (B) Level Shifts and Structural Breaks Another type of non-stationarity is due to changes in parameters, e.g., a level shift: { µ1 for t = 1, 2,..., T 0 E(y t) = µ 2 for t = T 0 + 1, T 0 + 2,..., T. If each sub-sample is stationary, then there are two modelling approaches: 1 Include a dummy variable in the regression model, D t = { 0 for t = 1, 2,..., T0 1 for t = T 0 + 1, T 0 + 2,..., T y t = β 0 + β 1 x t + β 3 D t + ɛ t. If y t β 3 D t is stationary, standard asymptotics apply. 2 Analyze the two sub-samples separately. This is particularly relevant if we think that more parameters have changed. Econometrics II Non-Stationary Time Series and Unit Root Testing Slide 7/35

8 (C) Variance Changes A third type of non-stationary is related to changes in the variance. An example is y t = 0.5 y t 1 + ɛ t, where ɛ t { N(0, 1) for t = 1, 2,..., T0 N(0, 5) for t = T 0 + 1, T 0 + 2,..., T The interpretation is that the time series covers different regimes. A natural solution is to model the regimes separately. Alternatively we can try to model the variance. We return to so-called ARCH models for changing variance later.

For an increasing sample size, T = {10, 20,..., 500}, we consider the distribution of θ and T ( θ θ). Q: What are the properties of θ when θ = 1? (A) It is consistent and asymptotically normal.

12 2. An Autoregressive Unit Root Process

13 Properties of a Stationary AR(1) Consider the AR(1) model y t = θy t 1 + ɛ t, t = 1, 2,..., T. The characteristic polynomial is θ(z) = 1 θz, with characteristic root z 1 = θ 1 and inverse root φ 1 = z 1 1 = θ. The stationarity condition is that φ 1 = θ < 1. Recall the solution y t = ɛ t + θɛ t 1 + θ 2 ɛ t θ t 1 ɛ 1 + θ t y 0, where θ i 0 for i. Shocks have only transitory effects; y t has an attractor (mean reversion). Note the properties E(y t) = θ t y 0 0 V (y t) = σ 2 + θ 2 σ 2 + θ 4 σ θ t 1 σ ρ s = Corr(y t, y t s) = θ s σ2 1 θ 2 Econometrics II Non-Stationary Time Series and Unit Root Testing Slide 11/35

17 Autoregression with a Unit Root Consider the AR(1) with θ = 1, i.e., y t = y t 1 + ɛ t. The characteristic polynomial is θ(z) = 1 z. There is a unit root, θ(1) = 0. The solution is given by: y t = y 0 + y 1 + y y t 1 + ɛ t = y 0 + ɛ 1 + ɛ ɛ t t = y 0 + ɛ i. i=1 Note the remarkable differences between θ = 1 and a stationary process, θ < 1 : 1 The effect of the initial value, y 0, stays in the process. And E(y t y 0 ) = y 0. 2 Shocks, ɛ t, have permanent effects. Accumulate to a random walk component, ɛ i, called a stochastic trend.

18 Socrative Question 3 Consider the AR(1) process with a unit root, y t = y t 1 + ɛ t, where ɛ t iid(0, σ 2 ). Q: What is the variance of y t conditional on the initial value? (A) V (y t y 0) = (B) V (y t y 0) = σ 2 σ2 1 θ 2 (C) V (y t y 0) = tσ 2 (D) V (y t y 0) = y 0 + tσ 2 (E) Don t know.

E((y t y 0)(y t s y 0) y 0) = E((ɛ 1+ɛ ɛ t)(ɛ 1+ɛ ɛ t s) y 0) = (t s)σ 2. The autocorrelation is Corr(y t, y t s y 0) = which dies out very slowly with s. Cov(y t, y t s y 0) V (yt y 0) V (y = (t s)σ 2 t s y 0) tσ2 (t s)σ = t s, 2 t 5 The first difference, y t = ɛ t, is stationary. y t is called integrated of first order, I(1).

20 Socrative Question 4 Consider the unit root AR(1) process with a constant term and a linear trend, y t = δ + γ t + y t 1 + ɛ t, t = 1, 2,..., T. Q. What is the effect of the deterministic terms δ and γ t on y t? (A) δ determines the level of y t, while γ t is a linear trend in y t. (B) Both δ and γ t accumulate into a linear trend in y t. (C) The constant term accumulates into the linear trend, δt, in y t, while γ t accumulates into the quadratic trend, γt 2, in y t. (D) The constant term accumulates into the linear trend, δt, in y t, while γ t accumulates into the quadratic trend, γt 4, in y t. (E) Don t know. (Do you find this deterministic specification relevant for economic time series? And what is the effect of a dummy variable or a shift-dummy?)

22 Deterministic Terms To model actual time series we include deterministic terms, e.g., y t = δ + θy t 1 + ɛ t. With a unit root, the terms accumulate! If θ < 1, the solution is y t = θ t y 0 + t θ i ɛ t i + (1 + θ + θ θ t 1 )δ, i=0 where the mean converges to (1 + θ + θ )δ = δ/(1 θ). If θ = 1, the solution is y t = y 0 + t (δ + ɛ i) = y 0 + δt + i=1 t ɛ i. The constant term produces a deterministic linear trend: Random walk with drift. Note the parallel between a deterministic and a stochastic trend. i=1 Econometrics II Non-Stationary Time Series and Unit Root Testing Slide 15/35

26 3. Dickey-Fuller Unit Root Testing

27 Unit Root Testing Estimate an autoregressive model and test whether θ(1) = 0, i.e., whether z = 1 is a root in the autoregressive polynomial. This is a straightforward hypothesis test! 1 Careful statistical model What kinds of deterministic components are relevant: constant or trend? 2 Hypothesis We compare two models, H 0 and H A. What are the properties of the model under the null and under the alternative. Are both models relevant? 3 Test statistic What is a relevant test statistic for H 0 H A? 4 Asymptotic distribution The asymptotic distribution for a unit root test is non-standard. Econometrics II Non-Stationary Time Series and Unit Root Testing Slide 18/35

28 Dickey-Fuller Test in an AR(1) Consider an AR(1) model y t = θy t 1 + ɛ t. The unit root hypothesis is θ(1) = 1 θ = 0. The one-sided test against stationarity: H 0 : θ = 1 against H A : 1 < θ < 1. An equivalent formulation is y t = πy t 1 + ɛ t, where π = θ 1 = θ(1). The hypothesis θ(1) = 0 translates into H 0 : π = 0 against H A : 2 < π < 0. The Dickey-Fuller (DF) test statistic is simply the t-ratio, i.e., τ = θ 1 = π se( θ) se( π) The asymptotic distribution is Dickey-Fuller, DF, and not N(0, 1).

33 Dickey-Fuller Test in an AR(p) For the AR(p) process we derive the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. Consider the case of p = 3 lags: y t = θ 1y t 1 + θ 2y t 2 + θ 3y t 3 + ɛ t. A unit root in θ(z) = 1 θ 1z θ 2z 2 θ 3z 3 corresponds to θ(1) = 0. To avoid testing a restriction on 1 θ 1 θ 2 θ 3, the model is rewritten as y t y t 1 = (θ 1 1)y t 1 + θ 2y t 2 + θ 3y t 3 + ɛ t y t y t 1 = (θ 1 1)y t 1 + (θ 2 + θ 3)y t 2 + θ 3(y t 3 y t 2) + ɛ t y t y t 1 = (θ 1 + θ 2 + θ 3 1)y t 1 + (θ 2 + θ 3)(y t 2 y t 1) +θ 3(y t 3 y t 2) + ɛ t y t = πy t 1 + c 1 y t 1 + c 2 y t 2 + ɛ t, where π = θ 1 + θ 2 + θ 3 1 = θ(1), c 1 = (θ 2 + θ 3), c 2 = θ 3.

What type of process is r t? (A) A conclusion cannot be made based on the presented results. (B) A stationary process. (C) A unit root process. (D) An explosive process. (E) Don t know.

35 Dickey-Fuller Test in an AR(p) The hypothesis for θ(1) = 0 is unchanged: H 0 : π = 0 against H A : 2 < π < 0. The t test statistic τ π=0 again follows the DF-distribution. Remarks: 1 It is only the test for π = 0 that follows the DF distribution. Tests on c 1 and c 2 are N(0, 1). 2 We use the normal tools to determine the appropriate lag-length: general-to-specific testing or information criteria. Lag-length cannot be decided by Box-Jenkins identification (PACF). 3 Verbeek suggests to calculate the DF test for all values of p.... but why should we look at inferior or misspecified models? Find the best model and test in that. 4 The tests are based on the assumption that ɛ t IID(0, σ 2 ). This is checked by applying the usual misspecification tests.

36 Socrative Question 9 Consider the AR(3) model rewritten as, y t = δ + πy t 1 + y t 1 + y t 2 + ε t, ε t NIID(0, σ 2 ). for t = 1, 2,..., T and with initial values y 2, y 1, and y 0 given. Q: Which processes for y t does the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test, H 0 : π = 0 against H A : 2 < π < 0. compare under the null and the alternative? (A) A unit root process without a drift under H 0 against a mean-zero stationary procees under H A. (B) A unit root process without a drift under H 0 against a stationary procees with non-zero mean under H A. (C) A unit root process with a drift under H 0 against a stationary procees with non-zero mean under H A. (D) A unit root process with a drift under H 0 against a trend-stationary procees under H A. (E) Don t know.

37 Dickey-Fuller Test with a Constant Term We need deterministic variables to model actual time series, E(y t) 0. The DF regression with a constant term (and p = 3 lags again) is y t = δ + πy t 1 + c 1 y t 1 + c 2 y t 2 + ɛ t. ( ) The hypothesis is unchanged H 0 : π = 0, and as a test statistic we can use Remarks: τ c = π se( π). 1 The constant term in the regression changes the asymptotic distribution. The relevant distribution, DF c, is shifted to the left of DF. 2 Under the null hypothesis, π = 0, the constant gives a trend in y t. We have { µ + stationary process for θ < 1 y t = y 0 + random walk + δt for θ = 1 That is not a natural comparison. We implicitly assume that δ = 0 if θ = 1.

39 Dickey-Fuller Test with a Constant Term A more satisfactory hypothesis is H 0 : π = δ = 0, i.e., compare ( ) with y t = c 1 y t 1 + c 2 y t 2 + ɛ t. ( ) The joint hypothesis can be tested by a LR test, LR(π = δ = 0) = 2 (log L 0 log L A ), where log L 0 and log L A denote the log-likelihood values from ( ) and ( ). The LR statistic follows a non-standard distribution, DF 2 c, under the null.

40 Dickey-Fuller Test with a Trend Term For trending variables, the relevant alternative is often trend-stationarity. We use y t = δ + γt + πy t 1 + c 1 y t 1 + c 2 y t 2 + ɛ t. (#) The hypothesis is still H 0 : π = 0, and the DF t test is τ l = π se( π). The presence of a trend shifts the asymptotic distribution, DF l, further to the left. For the AR(1) with θ = 1, y t = δ + γt + y t 1 + ɛ t = ( δ + γ ) t + γ 2 2 t2 + t ɛ i + y 0. To avoid the accumulation of the trend under π = 0, we may consider the joint hypothesis, H 0 : π = γ = 0, i.e., to compare (#) with i=1 y t = δ + c 1 y t 1 + c 2 y t 2 + ɛ t. (##) The LR test is LR(π = γ = 0) = 2 (log L 0 log L A ), which follows a DF 2 l. Econometrics II Non-Stationary Time Series and Unit Root Testing Slide 25/35

52 Special Events Unit root tests assess whether shocks have transitory or permanent effects. The conclusions are sensitive to a few large shocks. Consider a one-time change in the mean of the series, a so-called break. This is one large shock with a permanent effect. Even if the series is stationary, such that normal shocks have transitory effects, the presence of a break will make it look like the shocks have permanent effects. That may bias the conclusion towards a unit root. Consider a few large outliers, i.e., a single strange observations. The series may look more mean reverting than it actually is.
