Economics

Now suppose that the time series process {Xt}, is expressed as Xt = z + ewhere et is iid with a mean of zero and a variance of σ  , and the variable z does not change over time (time invariant) which means it has a mean E(z) = 0 and , and it is assumed that z and et are uncorrelated:

i. Find the mean xt , E(Xt) and the variance Xt, var(Xt). Do they depend on t?

ii. Determine the covariance of xt and xt+h for h > 0, Cov(X, xt+h)

iii. Is xt stationary? Explain.
