Article: Obtaining estimates for the standard errors of long-run parameters. (Macro Modelling Notes)

OBTAINING ESTIMATES FOR THE STANDARD ERRORS OF LONG-RUN PARAMETERS This note provides a practical illustration of the reparameterisation described by Wickens and Breusch (1988) which enables estimates of long-run coefficients and their standard errors to be derived from an autoregressive distributed lag equation. Equation A in table 1 shows one such equation, which provides an estimate of the consumption function in the United States. The t-statistics on the level of consumption, income and wealth indicate that these items are not statistically different from zero at conventional 5 per cent significance levels. But these statistics are only relevant in assessing the ...
