This paper presents the detailed results of employing the various lag-length-selection criteria outlined in "Lag Length Selection Criteria: Some Empirical Results for the St. Louis Equation.'' Tables 1 through 6 are for a maximum lag of 8; tables 7 through 12, a maximum lag of 12; and tables 13...

This article describes and compares six criteria for determining the lag length of finite distributed lag models. These criteria are employed to select the lag length of the distributed lag variables within the St. Louis equation using a computationally efficient procedure. The lag lengths...

In this paper we show that Almon's (1965) endpoint constraints do not constrain the endpoints, as commonly thought. In particular, the endpoints are not constrained to equal zero. Consequently, these constraints have neither a basis in economic theory nor the econometric justification frequently...
