forecasting

Postby scboy » Thu Aug 08, 2019 5:11 am

Hi everyone, i am estimating this equation. However, no matter how many Lags i give to any independent variables they will become not significant (look at p-value)
Dependent Variable: CPI_TH12
Method: Least Squares
Date: 08/08/19 Time: 19:38
Sample (adjusted): 1988M02 2017M12
Included observations: 359 after adjustments

Variable Coefficient Std. Error t-Statistic Prob.

C 2.250106 0.099606 22.59013 0.0000
CPI_MR -4575.805 90.41203 -50.61057 0.0000
UUNEMR -1.409741 0.295577 -4.769455 0.0000

R-squared 0.878017 Mean dependent var -0.063431
Adjusted R-squared 0.877332 S.D. dependent var 4.786160
S.E. of regression 1.676304 Akaike info criterion 3.879382
Sum squared resid 1000.359 Schwarz criterion 3.911833
Log likelihood -693.3490 Hannan-Quinn criter. 3.892286
F-statistic 1281.223 Durbin-Watson stat 0.289010
Prob(F-statistic) 0.000000
I've tried many many times only this 3 lags giving cpi_mr significant at 95%

Since the literature mention "the number of lags was permitted to be between 0 and 11"
Should I ignore the lag operator?

Number of lags here means to use many lags, For example 3 would mean using x(-1) x(-2) and x(-3)
