14.1 Suppose that the idiosyncratic errors in (14.4), {uit: t 1,2, …, T}, are serially uncorrelated with constant variance, u 2. Show that the correlation between adjacent differences, uit and ui,t1, is .5. Therefore, under the ideal FE assumptions, first differencing induces negative serial correlation of a known value.
