Spurious regressions with high-order models: A reconsideration

Author

Listed:
  • Zhang, Lingxiang

Abstract

This paper reconsiders spurious regressions with high-order processes by using a balanced regression approach. Results show that if the balanced orders adopted in a regression model are greater than the truly largest lag of regressand and regressor data generation processes, then spurious regressions can be eliminated.
