Seasonal Adjustment Of Economic Time Series And Multiple Regression, Michael C. Lovell Jan 1963

Seasonal Adjustment Of Economic Time Series And Multiple Regression, Michael C. Lovell

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

After demonstrating that any nontrivial technique for seasonally adjusting time series inevitably leads to certain distortions of the data, an effort is made to provide explicit motivation for the process of seasonal adjustment for purposes of appraising current economic conditions. Inherent advantages in terms of certain consistency requirements of a least square procedure for seasonal adjustment are pointed out. Problems encountered by the econometrician when seasonally adjusted time series are to be employed in regression analysis are also explored. The dummy variable technique for dealing with seasonal fluctuations is generalized to encompass a flexible pattern of seasonal movement. It is …

Non-Existence Of Consistent Estimator Sequences And Unbiased Estimates: A Practical Example, H. S. Konijn Aug 1962

Non-Existence Of Consistent Estimator Sequences And Unbiased Estimates: A Practical Example, H. S. Konijn

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

It is often thought that identifiability implies existence of consistent estimator sequences. A rather artificial counter example is given in [7]. We here consider a case which often arises in experimental and survey practice. The example concerns a model with intraclass correlation ρ. For ρ negative an indefinitely large sequence of observations cannot arise from such a model and so the discussion of consistency is restricted to ρ > 0. For any non-degenerate range of ρ we show that no unbiased estimate exists for the variance of the mean of the observations. Certain other aspects of estimation in models of this …

An Empirical Evaluation Of Theories Of Saving, Harold W. Guthrie Feb 1962

An Empirical Evaluation Of Theories Of Saving, Harold W. Guthrie

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The theories of saving presented by Keynes, Duesenberry, and Friedman use three different measures of income to explain saving, and each theory has been supported by empirical evidence. The evidence consists of tests of a wide variety of hypotheses contained within or derived from the theories. The tests use many different kinds of data. The objective of this paper is to submit the basic behavioral hypotheses of each theory to a common test on constant data. The results show that the theories are equally acceptable on empirical grounds.
