Spurious regression However, if x t, y t are I(1) and u t I (1), ˆβ Q, where Q is a continuous random variable. Therefore, P( ˆβ = 0) = 0.

Spurious regression However, if x t, y t are I(1) and u t I (1), ˆβ Q, where Q is a continuous random variable. Therefore, P( ˆβ = 0) = 0. β = 0 if x t and y t have no correlation. This is called spurious regression.

Definition of cointegration If x t and y t are I(1), but u t = y t βx t is I(0), we say that x t and y t are cointegrated.

Definition of cointegration If x t and y t are I(1), but u t = y t βx t is I(0), we say that x t and y t are cointegrated. Cointegration means that x t and y t have a stable long-run relationship. Therefore, it is widely used for testing long-run relationship between two variables with stochastic trend.

Definition of cointegration If x t and y t are I(1), but u t = y t βx t is I(0), we say that x t and y t are cointegrated. Cointegration means that x t and y t have a stable long-run relationship. Therefore, it is widely used for testing long-run relationship between two variables with stochastic trend. The concept of cointegration applies to more than two I(1) variables. In general, variables are cointegrated if one of their linear combination is I(0).

The Engle-Granger two-step cointegration test First, run the regression y t = α + βx t + u t and obtain the residuals

The Engle-Granger two-step cointegration test First, run the regression y t = α + βx t + u t and obtain the residuals second, apply unit root test to û t

The Engle-Granger two-step cointegration test First, run the regression y t = α + βx t + u t and obtain the residuals second, apply unit root test to û t Note that the ADF test critical values for û t are different from the ADF test critical values for x t and y t. Eviews can calculate those critical values for us. See steps in the next slide.

The Engle-Granger two-step cointegration test in Eviews open two variables, say, x t and y t, as a group

The Engle-Granger two-step cointegration test in Eviews open two variables, say, x t and y t, as a group view/cointegration test/single-equation cointegration test choose Engle-Granger as the test method choose the specification of your first step regression. You can include a constant or time trend into the regression model by playing with options in model specification you can choose lag orders of the test according to various information criteria

The ECM We have learned that the cointegrating equation gives the long-run relationship between x t and y t, let s say u t = y t βx t = 0

The ECM We have learned that the cointegrating equation gives the long-run relationship between x t and y t, let s say u t = y t βx t = 0 In economics, the stable long-run relationship could be an equilibrium state. In the short run, the economy might deviate from the equilibrium state. In other words, u t 0

In the short run, the economy might deviate from the equilibrium state. In other words, u t 0 However, in many cases, those short-run deviations will be corrected over time and the economy will go back to the equilibrium state as time goes by.

We call the short-run deviations errors, and the restoring of the long-run equilibrium relationship error correction.

The ECM A typical ECM model has the following form y t = a + bu t 1 + c(l) y t 1 + d(l) x t 1 + e t, where e t is a white noise.

The ECM A typical ECM model has the following form y t = a + bu t 1 + c(l) y t 1 + d(l) x t 1 + e t, where e t is a white noise. Note that all variables are I(0) in the ECM. Therefore, the model can be estimated by OLS.

The PPP The law of one price (LOP): without any transaction cost, prices of two identical goods should be the same across countries.

The PPP The law of one price (LOP): without any transaction cost, prices of two identical goods should be the same across countries. Under the following assumptions, we can derive the purchasing power parity (PPP) from the LOP. same consumption basket across countries no non-tradables no trade costs no differences in quality and any other aspects of tradable goods

The PPP E = P/P

The PPP E = P/P logp = log(ep )

The PPP E = P/P logp = log(ep ) The above equation is a long-run equilibrium relationship

The PPP E = P/P logp = log(ep ) The above equation is a long-run equilibrium relationship The PPP holds, if a = 0, b = 1, u t I (0) in logp = a + blog(ep ) + u t (1)

The PPP E = P/P logp = log(ep ) The above equation is a long-run equilibrium relationship The PPP holds, if a = 0, b = 1, u t I (0) in logp = a + blog(ep ) + u t (1) it is actually a test for cointegration between p logp and f log(ep )

The quantity theory of money M = kpy

The quantity theory of money M = kpy In the long run, k is a constant determined by culture and financial institutions, and Y is fixed at its nature level.

The quantity theory of money M = kpy In the long run, k is a constant determined by culture and financial institutions, and Y is fixed at its nature level. Therefore, logm t = c + logp t + u t, where u t = 0 if the quantity theory of money holds. There is a long-run relationship between the price level and the quantity of money.

The quantity theory of money M = kpy In the long run, k is a constant determined by culture and financial institutions, and Y is fixed at its nature level. Therefore, logm t = c + logp t + u t, where u t = 0 if the quantity theory of money holds. There is a long-run relationship between the price level and the quantity of money. There could be short-run deviations from the long-run relationship, so it is adequate that u t I (0).
