Lecture 27 Distributed Lag Models
Economics 310 Lecture 27 Distributed Lag Models
2
Type of Models If the regression model includes not only the current but also the the lagged (past) values of the explanatory variables (the X’s) it is called a distributed-lag model. If the model includes one or more lagged values of the dependent variable among its explanatory variables, it is called an autoregressive model. This model is know as a dynamic model.
3
Key Questions What is the role of lags in economics?
What are the reasons for the lags? Is there any theoretical justification for the commonly used lagged models in empirical econometrics? What is the relationship between autoregressive and distributed lag models? What are the statistical estimation problems?
4
Role of “Time” or “lag” in Economics

Reasons for Lags Psychological Reasons Technological Reasons
Institutional Reasons
8
Estimation of Distributed Lag Models
9
Problems of Ad-hoc Estimation
No a priori guide to length of lag. Longer lags => less degrees of freedom Multicollinearity Data mining

Problems with koyck Model
We converted a distributed lag model to autoregressive model. Lag dependent variable on RHS may not be independent of new error Error term is MA(1). Model does not satisfy conditions for Durbin-Watson d-test. Must use Durbin h-test.

Adaptive Expectation Model
17
Facts about Adaptive Expectation model
Expected value of the independent variable is weighted average of the present and all past values of X. The estimating equation has a MA(1) process error term.
18
Partial Adjustment model
19
Properties of partial adjustment model
Estimating equation looks like Koyck but is different as far as estimation is concerned Error term is well behaved In the limit the lagged dependent variable is uncorrelated with the error term model can be estimated consistently by OLS
20
Estimating Koyck model
Model can be estimated by maximum likelihood. This is difficult. Simple method of estimation is instrumental variables.

Properties of IV estimators
Estimators are consistent Estimators are asymptotically unbiased. Parameter estimates will not be as efficient as the maximum likelihood estimates, but are easier to do.
