Hi, everybody;
LW and GPH estimators are consistent for d=<1 and asymptotically normal for d<0.75
(see Velasco, 1999a, 1999b, Phillips and Shimotsu, 2004 and Phillips, 2007), but LW is
more efficient. Besides, the asymptotic variance depends on the bandwidth (and,
normally, the bigger the sample size the bigger the bandwidth). If you want to test the
hypothesis of unit root you should apply the test on the first differences of the series
and test if the memory parameter is equal zero. If you don't reject that hypothesis,
the series seems to have a unit root. To avoid differenciation, there are other
posibilities: tapering (Velasco, 1999a, 1999b), ELW of Shimotsu and Phillips
(2005), non-local estimators (Abadir et Al., 2007), etc.
Cheers
Javi

New subject: Tests menu and model window
Dear list-members,
I really like the feature of gretl that reports the results of the
different tests in the model window after using any of the Tests menu items.
I really miss that Tests/Collinearity doesn't do that. I understand that
this menu item is not a test with p-values in that sense, but maybe the
highest VIF value and the variable involved could be highlighted in the
model window.
Any suggestions?
Daniel

New subject: LW estimator and the GPH test
Hi,
just wanted to say, although normally I'm not a very big fan of
discussing general econometrics questions unrelated to gretl on this
list, I found the quality of Javier's post impressive. Clear, concise,
and even comes with a list of references, wow!
¡Vaya campeón!
cheers,
sven

I would like to thank everyone for offering helpful comments. My
initial motivation for this message was the lack of documentation in
the user's guide as well as a GUI help icon. I realized later that a
short entry with references exists in the command reference.
