Advertising and Aggregate Consumption: an Analysis of Causality1 by R. Ashley, C. W. J. Granger, and R. Schmalensee

چکیده
This paper is concerned with testing for causation, using the Granger definition, in a bivariate time-series context. It is argued that a sound and natural approach to such tests must rely primarily on the out-of-sample forecasting performance of models relating the original (non-prewhitened) series of interest. A specific technique of this sort is presented and employed to investigate the relation between aggregate advertising and aggregate consumption spending. The null hypothesis that advertising does not cause consumption cannot be rejected, but some evidence suggesting that consumption may cause advertising is presented.

A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR POSTSAMPLE MODEL SELECTION AND VALIDATION by
The model selection and Granger-causality literatures have generally focused on insample rather than postsample hypothesis testing. In large part this is due to the fact that feasible postsample model validation periods are usually quite short, whereas large-sample methods are ordinarily required in order to deal with the serial correlation and crosscorrelation typically found in postsample for...
متن کاملNon - Nested Model Selection / Validation : Making Credible Postsample Inference Feasible
Effective, credible inference with respect to the postsample forecasting performance of time series models is widely held to be infeasible. Consequently, the model selection and Granger-causality literatures have focussed almost exclusively on in-sample tests, which can easily be biased by typical specification-search activity. Indeed, the postsample error series generated by competing models a...

متن کاملOn natural homomorphisms of local cohomology modules
Let $M$ be a non-zero finitely generated module over a commutative Noetherian local ring $(R,mathfrak{m})$ with $dim_R(M)=t$. Let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ with $grade(I,M)=c$. In this article we will investigate several natural homomorphisms of local cohomology modules. The main purpose of this article is to investigate when the natural homomorphisms $gamma: Tor^{R}_c(k,H^c_I(M))to kotim...
