Question:

(a) In the AR(1) model \(x_{t}=\phi_{0}+\phi_{1} x_{t-1}+w_{t}\), with \(\phi_{1}<1\) and \(\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t}\right)=\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t-1}\right)\), show that

\[ \mathrm{E}\left(x_{t}\right)=\frac{\phi_{0}}{1-\phi_{1}} \]

(b) In the \(\mathrm{AR}(2)\) model \(x_{t}=\phi_{0}+\phi_{1} x_{t-1}+\phi_{2} x_{t-2}+w_{t}\), with a constant mean, \(\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t}\right)=\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t-1}\right)=\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t-2}\right)\), show that

\[ \mathrm{E}\left(x_{t}\right)=\frac{\phi_{0}}{1-\phi_{1}-\phi_{2}} \]

so long as \(\phi_{1}+\phi_{2} eq 1\).
