Part I. ARCH-M Modeks
In an ARCH-M model, the conditional variance is introduced into the equation for the mean as an explanatory variable.
ARCH-M is often used in financial models
3Net return to an asset model Net return to an asset: y(t)
• y(t) = u(t) + e(t)• where u(t) is is the expected risk premium• e(t) is the asset specific shock
the expected risk premium: u(t)• u(t) = a + b*h(t)• h(t) is the conditional variance
Combining, we obtain:• y(t) = a + b*h(t) +e(t)

Part II. Granger Causality
Granger causality is based on the notion of the past causing the present
example: Lab six, Index of Consumer Sentiment January 1978 - March 2003 and S&P500 total return, montly January 1970 - March 2003

Dlncon’s dependence on its past
dlncon(t) = a + b*dlncon(t-1) + c*dlncon(t-2) + d*dlncon(t-3) + resid(t)
26Dlncon’s dependence on its past and dlnsp’s past
dlncon(t) = a + b*dlncon(t-1) + c*dlncon(t-2) + d*dlncon(t-3) + e*dlnsp(t-1) + f*dlnsp(t-2) + g* dlnsp(t-3) + resid(t)
Do lagged dlnsp terms add to the explained variance?
F3, 292 = {[ssr(eq. 1) - ssr(eq. 2)]/3}/[ssr(eq. 2)/n-7]
F3, 292 = {[0.642038 - 0.575445]/3}/0.575445/292
F3, 292 = 11.26
critical value at 5% level for F(3, infinity) = 2.60

Causality goes from dlnsp to dlncon
EVIEWS Granger Causality Test• open dlncon and dlnsp• go to VIEW menu and select Granger Causality• choose the number of lags
31Does the causality go the other way, from dlncon to dlnsp? dlnsp(t) = a + b*dlnsp(t-1) + c*dlnsp(t-2) +
d* dlnsp(t-3) + resid(t)
33Dlnsp’s dependence on its past and dlncon’s past dlnsp(t) = a + b*dlnsp(t-1) + c*dlnsp(t-2) +
d* dlnsp(t-3) + e*dlncon(t-1) + f*dlncon(t-2) + g*dlncon(t-3) + resid(t)
Do lagged dlncon terms add to the explained variance?
F3, 292 = {[ssr(eq. 1) - ssr(eq. 2)]/3}/[ssr(eq. 2)/n-7]
F3, 292 = {[0.609075 - 0.606715]/3}/0.606715/292
F3, 292 = 0.379
critical value at 5% level for F(3, infinity) = 2.60
37Granger Causality and Cross-Correlation
One-way causality from dlnsp to dlncon reinforces the results inferred from the cross-correlation function
39Part III. Simultaneous Equations
and Identification Lecture 2, Section I Econ 240C Spring
2004 Sometimes in microeconomics it is possible
to identify, for example, supply and demand, if there are exogenous variables that cause the curves to shift, such as weather (rainfall) for supply and income for demand
45
Simultaneity
There are two relations that show the dependence of price on quantity and vice versa• demand: p = a - b*q +c*y + ep
• supply: q= d + e*p + f*w + eq
46
Endogeneity
Price and quantity are mutually determined by demand and supply, i.e. determined internal to the model, hence the name endogenous variables
income and weather are presumed determined outside the model, hence the name exogenous variables
49

57
Identification
All may not be lost, if parameters of interest such as a and b can be determined from the dependence of price on income and weather and the dependence of quantity on income and weather then the demand model can be identified and so can supply
The Reduced Form for p~(y,w)
demand: p = a - b*q +c*y + ep
supply: q= d + e*p + f*w + eq
Substitute expression for q into the demand equation and solve for p
p = a - b*[d + e*p + f*w + eq] +c*y + ep
p = a - b*d - b*e*p - b*f*w - b* eq + c*y + ep
p[1 + b*e] = [a - b*d ] - b*f*w + c*y + [ep - b* eq ]
divide through by [1 + b*e]
The reduced form for q~y,w
demand: p = a - b*q +c*y + ep
supply: q= d + e*p + f*w + eq
Substitute expression for p into the supply equation and solve for q
supply: q= d + e*[a - b*q +c*y + ep] + f*w + eq
q = d + e*a - e*b*q + e*c*y +e* ep + f*w + eq
q[1 + e*b] = [d + e*a] + e*c*y + f*w + [eq + e* ep]
divide through by [1 + e*b]
Working back to the structural parameters
Note: the coefficient on income, y, in the equation for q, divided by the coefficient on income in the equation for p equals e, the slope of the supply equation• e*c/[1+e*b]÷ c/[1+e*b] = e
Note: the coefficient on weather in the equation for for p, divided by the coefficient on weather in the equation for q equals -b, the slope of the demand equation
This process is called identification
From these estimates of e and b we can calculate [1 +b*e] and obtain c from the coefficient on income in the price equation and obtain f from the coefficient on weather in the quantity equation
it is possible to obtain a and d as well
62
Vector Autoregression (VAR)
Simultaneity is also a problem in macro economics and is often complicated by the fact that there are not obvious exogenous variables like income and weather to save the day
As John Muir said, “everything in the universe is connected to everything else”
63VAR One possibility is to take advantage of the
dependence of a macro variable on its own past and the past of other endogenous variables. That is the approach of VAR, similar to the specification of Granger Causality tests
One difficulty is identification, working back from the equations we estimate, unlike the demand and supply example above
We miss our equation specific exogenous variables, income and weather
Primitive VAR
(1)y(t) = w(t) + y(t-1) +
w(t-1) + x(t) + ey(t)
(2) w(t) = y(t) + y(t-1) +
w(t-1) + x(t) + ew(t)
65
Standard VAR
Eliminate dependence of y(t) on contemporaneous w(t) by substituting for w(t) in equation (1) from its expression (RHS) in equation 2
1. y(t) = w(t) + y(t-1) + w(t-1) + x(t) + ey(t)
1’. y(t) = y(t) + y(t-1) + w(t-1) + x(t) + ew(t)] + y(t-1) + w(t-1) + x(t) + ey(t)
1’. y(t) y(t) = [+ y(t-1) + w(t-1) + x(t) + ew(t)] + y(t-1) + w(t-1) + x(t) + ey(t)
Standard VAR (1’) y(t) = (/(1- ) +[ (+
)/(1- )] y(t-1) + [ (+ )/(1- )] w(t-1) + [(+ (1- )] x(t) + (ey(t) + ew(t))/(1- )
in the this standard VAR, y(t) depends only on lagged y(t-1) and w(t-1), called predetermined variables, i.e. determined in the past
Note: the error term in Eq. 1’, (ey(t) + ew(t))/(1- ), depends upon both the pure shock to y, ey(t) , and the pure shock to w, ew
Standard VAR (1’) y(t) = (/(1- ) +[ (+ )/(1-
)] y(t-1) + [ (+ )/(1- )] w(t-1) + [(+ (1- )] x(t) + (ey(t) + ew(t))/(1- )
(2’) w(t) = (/(1- ) +[(+ )/(1- )] y(t-1) + [ (+ )/(1- )] w(t-1) + [(+ (1- )] x(t) + (ey(t) + ew(t))/(1- )
Note: it is not possible to go from the standard VAR to the primitive VAR by taking ratios of estimated parameters in the standard VAR
