Autocorrelation Error Interpretation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interpretation of coefficients in a Generalized Least Squares (GLS) model after addressing autocorrelation using the Cochrane-Orcutt Two-step Procedure (CORC). The user seeks clarity on how to interpret the relationship between variables, specifically how a unit increase in wages (X1) or working hours (X2) affects productivity (Y). The conversation highlights the importance of incorporating lagged values of Y and X variables for accurate interpretation and suggests considering the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) as an alternative for adjusting t-statistics in econometric analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression
  • Familiarity with autocorrelation and its implications in regression analysis
  • Knowledge of the Cochrane-Orcutt Two-step Procedure (CORC)
  • Basic grasp of Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) in econometrics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Cochrane-Orcutt Two-step Procedure (CORC) for correcting autocorrelation
  • Learn about Generalized Least Squares (GLS) and its applications in econometrics
  • Explore the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) for estimating parameters in regression models
  • Study the interpretation of coefficients in time series regression models
USEFUL FOR

Econometricians, data analysts, and researchers looking to understand autocorrelation in regression models and improve their interpretation of econometric results.

Hello, I have a question on Autocorrelation of OLS model.
So I encountered a autocorrelation error, and use Cochrane - Orcutt Two-step Procedure(CORC) to fix it. And my OLS became GLS. And I have no idea how to interpret the coefficient on my initial X and Y with the new model. I mean something like, if X rise by 1 unit then Y rise by 3 units. Below are my real output

Please help me, thank you so much.
fyi: Y is outputs per hour ( productivity), X1 is wages/ week, X2 is working hours/week

Is the left hand side of the GLS autocorrelation fixed model correct? Shouldn't that be ##Y-0.71*Y(-1)##?
(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochrane–Orcutt_estimation )

And a small correction: 248*(1-0.71) = 71.92

With that in mind, the equation only gives you values for the change of ##Y## based on the change of the ##X_i##s. So if you want to apply it to current values of ##Y## and ##X_i##s, you would have to include the data from the prior time ( ##Y(-1)## and ##X_i(-1)##s ).
