Application of Least Squares Regression to Relationships Containing Auto-Correlated Error Terms
D. Cochrane,G. H. Orcutt +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented showing that the error terms involved in most current formulations of economic relations are highly positively autocorrelated and it is demonstrated that when estimates of autoregressive properties of error terms are based on calculated residuals there is a large bias towards randomness.
