Last week, I talked to a lot of students of Econometrics regarding the most difficult challenge they faced in Econometrics. The most common issue that emerged out of that discussion is constructing an econometrics model that is suitable for the data in hand and/or real world. Most often, data is not reliable as economists have …

Stationarity refers to the property of a time series where the statistical properties (such as mean and variance) are constant over time. Ergodicity, on the other hand, refers to the property of a stochastic process where the time average of a process is equal to the ensemble average over all possible realizations of the process. …

Breusch-Pagan LM statistic test The Breusch-Pagan LM statistic tests the random effects model against thepooled OLS model. The specific hypothesis under investigation is the following:H0: σ2α = 0H1: σ2α ≠ 0The random effects model reduces to a pooled OLS regression under the null (when σ2α = 0).The test is based on OLS residuals built from …

What is variance? How it differs from co-variance? How these are related to correlation? The variance means the quality of being different divergent from the norm. It measures how far each number in the set is from the mean (average), and thus from every other number in the set. Variance is often depicted by this symbol: σ2. …

Real business cycle model is based on business cycles and incorporates technological shock as the prime reason for fluctuation in economic activity. Money is neutral with no impact on real variables. These models hold the view that fluctuations in aggregate economic activity are an antidote to the uncertainty in agents’ environment arising from exogenous technology …
Dynamic General Stochastic Equilibrium (DGSE) models are well grounded theoretically, in harmony with the empirical evidence to predict and provide accurate interpretation of past and present economic events. The term Dynamic implies the model is time-dependent. It involves expectations regarding future outcomes tightly knit with the present decision of the economic agents. Economic agents’ objective …
There is little doubt that every economic theory we studied is based on theoretical modeling first. It sprouted from an idea which later on was served to the world with improvements; assumptions, hypothesis tests and results came into prominence. These models are all the simplified versions of reality. Starting from the most basic law of …
