3. (50 points) Two independent random walks (unit roots) RA and RB and two independent stationary processes SA and SB are generated by the following processes RA=RA. + RB=RB1+12 SC: = PASA:1 +232 SD = PSB+ve a) (25 points) Two series X and Z are generated as X =RAE+SC ZERB + SD Explain whether it is possible for Xi and Z to be ICO). Explain whether it is possible for (X - Z.) to be non-stationary Explain whether it is possible for (SC + SD) to be stationary (b) (25 points) Consider the following regression equations (1) RA = no + RA 1 + aoRB1+ut. (2) RAbo+b;SC + b3SD, +13 (3) Xt=00+cIZA+Z1 + X1 +13 Discuss the validity of the following statements 1) Var(u) = 0 and the R2 from equation (1) is unity 11) The R from equation (1) is always greater than the R from equation (2) l) Equation (2) is the best model as it contains stationary explanatory variables. Equation (3) is the best model as it contains all the dynamics
