Introduction to Time Series Regression and Forecasting(SW Chapter 14)

Example #1 of time series data: US rate of price inflation, as measured by the quarterly percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), at an annual rate
3
Example #2: US rate of unemployment

First Order Autoregressive Model

Example: AR(1) model of the change in inflation

The AR(p) model

Example: AR(4) model of inflation

Example: AR(4) model of inflation
31
Digression: we used Inf, not Inf, in the AR’s. Why?
32
So why use Inft, not Inft?
33
Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ADL) Model
34
Example: inflation and unemployment
