Spurious regression: A higher-order problem

  • Sollis, Robert

Abstract

This paper investigates solving the spurious regression problem using an autocorrelation correction. It is shown that if the relevant data generation processes contain higher-order terms, this solution is not as effective as in the first-order case.
