Question
- Suppose that we have an AR(2) model as follows:yt = 0.1 + ϕ1yt−1 + ϕ2yt−2 + ut,where ut follows a white noise process with mean zero and variance σ2u = 0.2. Please computethe following:(a). Assume that ϕ1 and ϕ2 take values that make the model stationary. What is the meanof yt?(b). Compute E[yt+1|Ωt].(c). Compute E[yt+2|Ωt]
Solution
(a). The mean of yt in an AR(2) model is simply the constant term, assuming the model is stationary. Therefore, the mean of yt is 0.1.
(b). E[yt+1|Ωt] is the expected value of yt+1 given the information available at time t. In an AR(2) model, this is simply the model equation without the error term, ut+1, because the expectation of the error term is zero. Therefore, E[yt+1|Ωt] = 0.1 + ϕ1yt + ϕ2yt−1.
(c). E[yt+2|Ωt] is the expected value of yt+2 given the information available at time t. This is a bit more complicated because it involves predicting two steps ahead. However, we can use the AR(2) model equation to write yt+2 in terms of yt+1 and yt, and then substitute the equation from part (b) for yt+1. This gives us E[yt+2|Ωt] = 0.1 + ϕ1(0.1 + ϕ1yt + ϕ2yt−1) + ϕ2yt = 0.1(1 + ϕ1) + ϕ1^2yt + ϕ1ϕ2yt−1 + ϕ2yt.
