To understand it, we paraphrase Granger et al. Spurious regression can be considered as having played a fundamental role in this development.

The modeling of such mechanisms is thus a major goal of time series econometrics (that said, it should be acknowledged that neither unit roots nor deterministic trends are able to model satisfactorily most series they are what Phillips labeled “heroically naive” concepts). Even casual examination of such time series as GNP reveals that the series do not possess constant means.”Įconometrics should work hand-in-hand with economic theory by providing it with the tools it requires to understand economic activity. However, the assumptions of the traditional theory do not provide much solace to the empirical worker. In the words of Durlauf and Phillips : “Traditional Analyses of Economic time series frequently rely on the assumption that the time series in question are stationary, ergodic processes. The debate continues between “unit rooters” and “deterministic trenders”, though there is very general consensus as to the presence of a trending mechanism in the levels of most macroeconomic series. Several years later, Perron argued that the trending mechanism in macro variables was deterministic in nature (with some transcendent structural breaks). macroeconomic time series were governed by a unit root (a random trending mechanism), based on Dickey and Fuller’s Unit-root test. Nelson and Plosser asserted that many relevant U.S. , Hendry and Mizon, Plosser and Schwert, Bhattacharya et al. Research in nonstationarity has advanced significantly since the early important papers, such as Granger and Newbold, Davidson et al. Such an appraisal gave rise to an extraordinary development that substantially modified the way empirical studies in time-series econometrics are carried out. In the late seventies, economists and econometricians recognized that insufficient attention was being paid to trending mechanisms and that, in fact, most macroeconomic variables were probably nonstationary. Introductionĭuring the last 30 years econometric theory has undergone a revolution. Regression, pulled from disperse sources, and explains their implications. This paper provides an overview of results about spurious Spin-offs from this research range from unit-root tests to cointegration and error-correction models. Have played a fundamental role in the building of modern time series econometricsĪnd have revolutionized many of the procedures used in applied macroeconomics. Long memory, trend and broken-trend stationarity. Of data generating processes, such as driftless unit roots, unit roots with drift, The spurious regression phenomenon in least squares occurs for a wide range
