Chapter 17 1.
If the regression model includes the lagged (past) values of the explanatory variables (the Xs), it is called a distributed-lag model. (Yt= + 0Xt+ 1Xt1+ 2Xt2+ ut) 2. If the model includes one or more lagged values of the dependent variable among its explanatory variables, it is called an autoregressive model. (Yt= + Xt+ Yt1+ ut) 3. Autoregressive is also known as dynamic models since they portray the time path of the dependent variable in relation to its past value(s). 4. A lapse of time is called a lag.

6. Distributed-lag model with a finite lag of k time periods. Yt= + 0Xt+ 1Xt1+ 2Xt2+ + kXtk+ ut 7. The coefficient 0 is known as the short-run, or impact, multiplier because it gives the change in the mean value of Y following a unit change in X in the same time period. 8. For constant X, (0+ 1+ 2 and so on) gives the change in (the mean value of) Y in next periods. These partial sums are called interim, or intermediate, multipliers. 9. After k periods we obtain i= 0+ 1+ 2+ + k= which is known as the long-run, or total, distributed-lag multiplier, provided the sum exists. 10.
