Confidence intervals in econometric time series regressions suffer from notorious coverage problems. This is especially true when the dependence in the data is noticeable and sample sizes are small to moderate, as is often the case in empirical studies. This paper suggests using the studentized...

This paper proposes a method of testing whether a time series is a martingale. The procedure develops an asymptotic theory for the shape of the spectral distribution function of the first differences. Under the null hypothesis, this shape should be a diagonal line. several tests are developed...

Many statistical applications require the forecast of a random variable of interest over several periods into the future. The sequence of individual forecasts, one period at a time, is called a path forecast, where the term path refers to the sequence of individual future realizations of the...
