Non-cointegrated variables and OLS estimates

Postby Gaya » Tue Feb 11, 2014 8:23 am

Hi,

I am new to econometrics, I am just trying to estimate the linear regression using OLS method.
I used Quarterly time-series data for 30years (120 data points).

d(Y)=B0+B1*d(X1)+B2*d(X2)+B3*d(X3)+E.

All I have used are I(1) variables as I(0) are non-stationery.
I used Engle–Granger two-step method and found no co-integration. (Not-co integrated)

Can someone explain me on my following doubts
1. Whether I can proceed with estimation of the above regression using OLS?
2. Whether I can I use lag-distribution models (based on OLS)?
3. Granger causality test?

One of my friends told me when variables in the regression are non-cointegrated, (means no long run relationship between variables) and no point of go ahead and estimate coefficients of the regression. Is this true?

Thank you in advance.
