Question 5 Many time series used in finance are described as non-stationary series. a. What do we mean by non-stationary? Why is it important to test for non-stationarity and account for it in estimation? [4 marks] b. Three forms of standard Dickey-Fuller test are given below: A. Aye = Pyt-1 + up B. Aye = atpyt-1+ u C. Aye = att+ pyt-1+ up Which of these forms would you use to test for non-stationarity in each of the following variables and why? 1 . Stock prices ii. Stock returns 111. The residuals of an Engle-Granger test [2+2+2=6 marks] c. Consider the following data generating process for a series yr: What most accurately describes the process for y:? How would you work with this model for yr ? [4 marks] d. What difficulties can arise when applying and interpreting Dickey-Fuller tests? Describe in detail another test which could be applied to test for non-stationarity [3+3 = 6 marks]
