1 F9 F10: Autocorrelation Feng Li Department of Statistics, Stockholm University

2 Introduction In the classic regression model we assume cov(u i, u j x i, x k ) = E(u i, u j ) = 0 What if we break the assumption? Look at these patterns Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 2 / 15

3 Positive and negative autocorrelation Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 3 / 15

4 What happens to OLS/GLS when autocorrelation? Consider a simple model Y t = β 1 + β 2 X t + u t where the error terms is autocorrelated as u t = ρu t 1 + ɛ t The OLS estimator will not change (still linear unbiased) But is not efficient since ) ř ř ) Var (ˆβ 2 = ř σ2 xt x t 1 x 2 (1 + 2ρ ř t x 2 + 2ρ 2 xt x ř t 2 t x ą ř σ2 t x 2 t where σ 2 / ř x 2 t is the variance of ˆβ 2 when no autocorrelation presents. The GLS estimators under autocorrelation is BLUE. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 4 / 15

5 Consequences of using OLS when autocorrelation The confidence intervals are likely wider than those from GLS. The usual t and F tests are not valid. The residual variance ˆσ 2 likely to underestimate the true σ 2 Likely to overestimate R 2 Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 5 / 15

6 Detection of autocorrelation ï The runs test (nonparametric test) step 1: Plot the residuals as follows Residuals Time step 2: Count the runs as: (- -)(+ + +)(-)(+)(- - -) step 3: N 1 = number of + residuals = 4, N 2 = number of - residuals = 6, N = N 1 + N 2 = 10, R = number of runs = 5 step 3: The number of runs is normally distributed ( ) 2N1 N 2 R N N + 1, 2N 1 N 2 (2N 1 N 2 N) N 2 (N + 1) Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 6 / 15

7 Detection of autocorrelation ï The runs test example Carry out the runs test with the residuals give in the previous slides. What critical value are you look for? Why this test is called nonparametric test? Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 7 / 15

8 Detection of autocorrelation ï Durbin Watson d test (1) The Durbin Watson d statistic d = ř n t=2 (û t û t 1 ) 2 ř n t=1 û2 t Assumptions underlying the d statistic The regression model includes the intercept. If you model does not have intercept, rerun the model include intercept to obtain û i. It can only determine first-order autoregressive scheme. The error term are assumed normally distributed. The explanatory variables do not contains lagged values (talk more on second part of the course). Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 8 / 15

9 Detection of autocorrelation ï Durbin Watson d test (2) Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 9 / 15

10 Detection of autocorrelation ï Durbin Watson d test (3) Approximation of d statistic where ˆρ = û t, i.e., ř ût û t 1 ř û2 t When ρ Ñ 1, positive autocorrelation; d «2(1 ˆρ) is the sample first-order coefficient of autocorrelation of û t = ˆρu t 1. When ρ Ñ 1, negative autocorrelation; When ρ Ñ 0, no autocorrelation. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 10 / 15

11 Detection of autocorrelation ï Durbin Watson d test example Given a sample of 100 observations and 5 explanatory variables, what can you say about autocorrelation if d = 1.2? Can handle without looking at the table? Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 11 / 15

12 The comparison between Durbin Watson test and runs test Runs test does not require and probability distribution of the error term. Warning: The d test is not valid if u i is not iid. When n is large,? n(1 d/2) N(0, 1) We can use the normality approximation when n is large regardless of iid. Durbin Watson statistic requires the covariates be non stochastic which is difficult to meet in econometrics. In this case, try the test on next slides. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 12 / 15

13 Detection of autocorrelation ï The Breusch Godfrey test (Lagrange Multiplier test) Consider the model Y t = β 1 + β 2 X t + u t, Assume u t = ρ 1 u t 1 + ρ 2 u t ρ p u t p + ɛ t H 0 : ρ 1 = ρ 2 =... = ρ p = 0, i.e. no autocorrelation. Run the auxiliary model and obtain R 2. When n large, u t = α 1 + α 2 X t + ρ 1 û t 1 + ρ 2 û t 2 + ρ p û t p + ɛ t Reject H 0 if χ 2 obs (p) ą χ2 crit (p). (n p)r 2 χ 2 (p). Question: Have you seen similar another test that has the similar way of constructions as this one? Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 13 / 15

14 Model misspecification and pure autocorrelation Some variables that were supposed to be in the model but not. This is the case of excluding variable, which is a type of model specification bias (will talk more in next chapter). This may also show patterns in the residuals plot. Try to find out if it is pure autocorrelation or misspecification. See example on p Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 14 / 15

15 Use GLS to correct pure autocorrelation Assume you have model Y t = β 1 + β 2 X t + u t and there is pure autocorrelation u t = ρu t 1 + ɛ t. When ρ known From the model we also have Yt 1 = β 1 + β 2 X t 1 + u t 1 Then Yt ρy t 1 = β 1 (1 ρ) + β 2 (X t ρx t 1 ) + (u t ρu t 1 ). Why? The above model can be written as Y t = β 1 + β 2 X t + ɛ t which removes autocorrelation. Why? When ρ not known One may run the model Yt Y t 1 = β 2 (X t X t 1 ) + (u t u t 1 ) We will talk more at second part of this course. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 15 / 15
