BAND SPECTRAL REGRESSION WITH TRENDING DATA
By Dean Corbae, Sam Ouliaris, and Peter C. B. Phillips1
Band spectral regression with both deterministic and stochastic trends is considered. It
is shown that trend removal by regression in the time domain prior to band spectral regres-
sion can lead to biased and inconsistent estimates in models with frequency dependent
coefficients. Both semiparametric and nonparametric regression formulations are consid-
ered, the latter including general systems of two-sided distributed lags such as those aris-
ing in lead and lag regressions. The bias problem arises through omitted variables and is
avoided by careful specification of the regression equation. Trend removal in the frequency
domain is shown to be a convenient option in practice. An asymptotic theory is developedand the two cases of stationary data and cointegrated nonstationary data are compared.
In the latter case, a levels and differences regression formulation is shown to be useful in
estimating the frequency response function at nonzero as well as zero frequencies.
Keywords: Band spectral regression, deterministic and stochastic trends, discrete
Fourier transform, distributed lag, integrated process, leads and lags regression, nonsta-
tionary time series, two-sided spectral BN decomposition.
1 introduction
Hannans (1963a, b) band-spectrum regression procedure is a usefulregression device that has been adopted in some applied econometric work,notably Engle (1974), where there are latent variables that may be regarded asfrequency dependent (like permanent and transitory income) and where there isreason to expect that the relationship between the variables may depend on fre-quency. More recently, band spectral regression has been used to estimate coin-tegrating relations, which describe low frequency or long run relations betweeneconomic variables. In particular, Phillips (1991a) showed how frequency domainregressions that concentrate on a band around the origin are capable of pro-
ducing asymptotically efficient estimates of cointegrating vectors. Interestingly,in that case the spectral methods are used with nonstationary integrated timeseries in precisely the same way as they were originally designed for stationaryseries, on which there is now a large literature (see, inter alia, Hannan (1970 Ch.VII), Hannan and Thomson (1971), Hannan and Robinson (1973), and Robinson(1991)). Related methods were used in Choi and Phillips (1993) to construct fre-quency domain tests for unit roots. In all of this work, the capacity of frequencydomain techniques to deal nonparametrically with short memory components in

the data is exploited. Robinson (1991), who allowed for band dependent modelformulations, showed how, in such semiparametric models, data based methods
can be used to determine the smoothing parameter that plays a central role inthe treatment of the nonparametric component. Other data based methods havebeen used directly in the study of cointegrating relations and testing problems byXiao and Phillips (1998, 1999).
To the extent that relations between variables may be band dependent, it isalso reasonable to expect that causal relations between variables may vary accord-ing to frequency. Extending work by Geweke (1982), both Hosoya (1991) andGranger and Lin (1995) have studied causal links from this perspective and con-structed measures of causality that are frequency dependent. Most recently, fre-
quency band methods have been suggested for the estimation of models with longmemory components (e.g., Marinucci (1998), Robinson and Marinucci (1998),Kim and Phillips (1999)), where salient features of the variables are naturallyevident in frequency domain formulations.
This paper studies some properties of frequency band regression in the pres-ence of both deterministic and stochastic trends, a common feature in economictime series applications. In such cases, a seemingly minor issue relates to themanner of deterministic trend removal. In particular, should the deterministictrends be eliminated by regression in the time domain prior to the use of thefrequency domain regression or not? Since spectral regression procedures were
originally developed for stationary time series and since the removal of deter-ministic trends by least squares regression is well known to be asymptoticallyefficient under weak conditions (Grenander and Rosenblatt (1957, p. 244)), itmay seem natural to perform the trend removal in the time domain prior to theuse of spectral methods. Indeed, this is recommended in Hannan (1963a, p. 30;1970, pp. 443444), even though the development of spectral regression thereand in Hannan (1970, Ch. VII.4) allows for regressors like deterministic trendsthat are susceptible to a generalized harmonic analysis, satisfying the so-calledGrenander conditions (Grenander and Rosenblatt (1957, p. 233), Hannan (1970,
p. 77)). Theorem 11 of Hannan (1970, p. 444) confirms that such time domaindetrending followed by spectral regression is asymptotically efficient in modelswhere all the variables are trend stationary and where the model coefficients donot vary with frequency.
In time domain regression, the FrischWaugh (1933) theorem assures invari-ance of the regression coefficients to prior trend removal or to the inclusionof trends in the regression itself. Such invariance is often taken for granted inempirical work. However, as will be shown here, invariance does not alwaysapply for band-spectrum regression when one switches from time domain to fre-quency domain regressions. In particular, detrending by removing deterministiccomponents in the time domain and then applying band-spectrum regression isnot necessarily equivalent to detrending in the frequency domain and applyingband-spectrum regression. The reason is that a band dependent spectral modelis similar in form to a linear regression with a structural change in the coeffi-cient vector. So, when there are deterministic trends in the model, the original

deterministic regressors also need to be augmented by regressors that are rele-vant to the change period (here, the frequency band where the change occurs).
Thus, the seemingly innocuous matter of detrending can have some nontrivialconsequences in practice. In particular, detrending in the time domain yields esti-mates that can be biased in finite samples, and, in the case of nonstationary data,inconsistent. The appropriate procedure is to take account of the augmentedregression equation prior to detrending and this can be readily accomplished byincluding the deterministic variables explicitly in the frequency domain regres-sion. These issues are relevant whenever band spectral methods are applied,including those cases that involve cointegrating regressions. In the latter case,a levels and differences regression formulation is shown to be appropriate anduseful in estimating the frequency response function at nonzero as well as zerofrequencies.
The present paper provides an asymptotic analysis of frequency domainregression with trending data for the two cases of stationary and cointegratednonstationary data. We consider both semiparametric and fully nonparametricformulations of the regression model, in both cases allowing the model coeffi-cients to vary with frequency. In dealing with the nonstationary case, the paperintroduces some new methods for obtaining a limit theory for discrete Fouriertransforms (dfts) of integrated time series and makes extensive use of two sidedBN decompositions, which lead to levels and differences model formulations.
This asymptotic theory simplifies some earlier results given in Phillips (1991a)and shows that the dfts of an I(1) process are spatially (i.e., frequencywise)dependent across all the fundamental frequencies, even in the limit as the sam-ple size n , due to leakage from the zero frequency. This leakage is strongenough to ensure that smoothed periodogram estimates of the spectrum awayfrom the origin are inconsistent at all frequencies = 0. The techniques andresults given here should be useful in other regression contexts where these quan-tities arise. Some extensions of the methods to cases of data with long rangedependence are provided in Phillips (1999).

2 models and estimation preliminaries
Let xt
t=
1 n be an observed time series generated by
xt = 2zt + xt(1)
where zt is a p + 1-dimensional deterministic sequence and xt is a zero meank-dimensional time series. The series xt therefore has both a deterministiccomponent involving the sequence zt and a stochastic (latent) component xt . Indeveloping our theory it will be convenient to allow for both stationary and non-stationary xt . Accordingly, we introduce the following two alternative assump-tions. The mechanism linking the observed variables xt , unobserved disturbances
t , and a dependent variable yt is made explicit later.
Assumption 1: t = t xt is a jointly stationary time series with Wold repre-sentation t =
j=0 Cjtj, where t = iid 0 with finite fourth moments and the
coefficients Cj satisfy
j=0 j12 Cj < . Partitioned conformably with t, the spec-
tral density matrix f of t is
f =
f 00 fxx
with ffxx > 0 .Assumption 2: xt is an I(1) process satisfying xt = vt, initialized at t = 0
by any Op(1) random variable. The shocks t = t vt satisfy Assumption 1 withspectral density f partitioned as
f =
f 00 fvv
with ffvv > 0
.
Assumptions 1 and 2 suffice for partial sums of t to satisfy the functional law
n1/2nr
t=1 td Br = BM, a vector Brownian motion of dimension k + 1
with covariance matrix = 2f0 (e.g., Phillips and Solo (1992, Theorem3.4)). The vector process B and matrix can be partitioned conformably with as B = B Bx and
=
00 xx
where xx > 0, so that xt is a full rank vector I(1) process. In all cases, xt is takento be independent oft . This amounts to a strict exogeneity assumption when weintroduce a generating mechanism for a dependent variable yt . The assumptionis standard for consistent estimation in the stationary case (as in Hannan (1963a,b)). In the nonstationary case, it is not required for the consistent estimation of

(low frequency) cointegrating regression components. However, at bands awayfrom the origin, some version of incoherency between the regressors and errors
is required for consistency and asserting incoherency enables us to examine thebias and inconsistency effects of detrending in such regressions, just as in thecase of stationary xt .
We make the following assumptions concerning the deterministic sequence zt .We confine our treatment to time polynomials and set zt = 1 t tp, themost common case in practice, although we anticipate that our conclusions aboutbias and inconsistency will apply more generally, for instance to trigonometricpolynomials, after some appropriate extensions of our dft formulae in Lemma Aand the limit results in Lemma C below. Let n = diag1 n np, and definedt =

uu > 0. Now let Z (respectively, D) be the npobservation matrix of the nonstochastic regressors zt (respectively, standardizedregressors dt), PZ be the projector onto the range of Z, and QZ = In PZ be theresidual projection matrix (respectively, PD and I PD). Clearly, PZ = PD andQZ
=QD.
The Nonparametric Model
The type of model we have in mind for the stochastic component of the dataallows for the regression coefficient to vary across frequency bands. In the timedomain, suppose a (latent) dependent variable yt is related to xt and t accordingto a (possibly two-sided) distributed lag
y
t =
j= j xtj+ t = L xt + t(3)where the transfer function of the filter, b = ei =j= jeij, is assumedto converge for all . Under stationarity (Assumption 1), the crossspectrum fyx between yt and xt satisfies
fyx = bfxx(4)
whose complex conjugate transpose gives the complex regression coefficient
= b = fxx1fxy(5)
As argued in Hannan (1963a, b), spectral methods provide a natural mechanismfor focusing attention on a particular frequency, or band of frequencies, and forperforming estimation of .

Next, suppose that the coefficients j in (3) are such that L has a valid two-sided spectral BN decomposition (see part (b) of Lemma D in the Appendix),
viz.
L = ei+ eiLeiL 1(6)
where
L =
j=jL

k= keik j < 0with

yt = Lxt + t(7)= b + eiLeiL 1xt + t= bxt + eiL 1at + t

xt. Then, setting

quency s we obtain the following frequency domain form of (3):

eis as 0 as n
(8)
For stationary xt at is also stationary and (8) can be written as
wys = bswxs + ws + Op

(9)
giving an approximate frequency domain version of (3).The case of integrated xt (Assumption 2) can be handled in a similar way.
Here it is useful to apply to (3) the two-sided BN decomposition at unity (part(a)of Lemma D), viz.
L = 1+ LL 1 where(10)
L =
j=jL
j j =
k=j+1

so that (3) can be interpreted as

which is a cointegrating equation between yt and xt with cointegrating vector1

=Lvt and taking
the dft of (11), we obtain
wys = 1wxs+ ws ws(12)= bswxs + ws ws+ 1 bswxs(13)
The final two terms of (13) are important, revealing that the approximation (9)fails in the nonstationary case and has an error of specification that arises fromomitted variables.
Assuming it is valid, the spectral BN decomposition of L at frequency s is

wys = 1wxs eis wvs + ws + Op

(15)
giving an approximate frequency domain version of the cointegrated model thatapplies for all frequencies. Since vt = xt, it is apparent from (15) that if data on
yt and
xt were available, the equation could be estimated in the frequency domain
by band spectral regression of wys on wxs and wxs for frequencies scentered around some frequency . For s centered around = 0, this procedurewas suggested originally in Phillips (1991b) and Phillips and Loretan (1991),where it is called augmented frequency domain regression, although in that workdeterministic trends were excluded. In the general case where s is centered on = 0, we can recover the spectral coefficient = b from the coefficients1 and eis = eis in (15) using the fact that
b = ei = 1+ eiei 1(16)
Causal economic relationships are often formulated as in (3) with one-sidedrelations where j = 0 for j < 0, but two-sided relations are not excluded. Theyare well known to occur in situations where there is feedback in both directionsbetween the variables y and x. A notable recent example arises in the simplifi-cation of cointegrating systems to single equation formulations where two-sided

dynamic regressions like (11) arise and where they have been used in regres-sion analysis to obtain efficient estimates of the cointegrating vector (Phillips and
Loretan (1991), Saikonnen (1991), Stock and Watson (1993)).The mechanism linking the observed dependent variable yt to zt and yt (and,
hence, xt, and t) is now given by
yt = zt1 + yt(17)
where yt follows (3) in the stationary case with xt t satisfying Assumption 1,and (11) in the cointegrated case with xt t satisfying Assumption 2. Theobserved series yt and xt therefore have deterministic trends and stochastic com-ponents that are linked by a system of distributed lags with stationary errors.
The natural statistical approach would appear to be deterministic trend removalby regression of yt xt on zt, followed by an analysis of the system of laggeddependencies between the residuals from these regressions. The latter can beconducted in the frequency domain where the coefficient of interest is the trans-fer function of the filter b. This coefficient will vary according to frequency(unless j = 0 for j= 0) and can be estimated by nonparametric regression tech-niques. One of the aims of this paper is to examine the finite sample and asymp-totic performance of this natural procedure against that of a procedure thatseeks to perform the regression analysis in the frequency domain directly on the
observed quantities yt xt zt rather than on detrended data.
A Fixed Band Regression Model
A simple situation of interest occurs when the response function b is con-stant, let us say on two fixed frequency bands. This case captures the essentialfeatures of the problem that we intend to discuss, is easy to analyze, and will beconsidered at some length here and in the asymptotic theory. It has the advan-tage that b is real and parametric and can be estimated at parametric rateswhen the bands are of fixed positive length. This case is analogous to a regression
model with a structural break and that analogy helps to explain why time and fre-quency domain detrending have different effects. The nonparametric model canbe interpreted as a limiting case in which one of the bands shrinks to a particularfrequency as the sample size increases. To promote the analogy with a structuralbreak model we will develop a conventional regression model formulation forthe data.
To this end, we postulate the dual bands A = 0 0 and cA = ,00 for some given frequency 0 > 0 and define the frequency depen-dent coefficient vector
b = A1 A+ Ac 1 cA(18)
where A is a k-vector of parameters pertinent to the band A, and Ac is thecorresponding k-vector of parameters pertinent to the bandcA. This formulationof b enables us to separate low frequency 0 from high frequency

j =1

beij dw =

A Ac j= 0(19)
so that the filter in (3) is symmetric and two-sided. This is an interesting casewhere the coefficients j decay slowly and do not satisfy the sufficient condition
j
12 j < given in Lemma D for the validity of the BN decomposition of
L=j= Lj. Nevertheless, the BN decomposition of L is still valid inthis case, as shown in Remark (i) following Lemma D in the Appendix.
While data for yt can be generated by (3) and (19) by truncating the filter, analternate frequency domain approach that uses (18) is possible. This mechanismhas the advantage of revealing the impact of the shift in (18) in terms of a stan-dard regression model with a structural change. Like xt, the dependent variableyt is assumed to have both deterministic and stochastic components. Its stochas-tic component yt is generated from xt and t by means of a triangular arrayformulation which we explain as follows.
Let X = x1 xn be the n
k matrix of observations of the exogenous
regressors xt , let U be the n n unitary matrix with jk element e2ijk/n/n,and let W = E1nU, where
E1n =
0 1In1 0
is an n n permutation matrix that reorders the rows of U so that the lastrow becomes the first and succeeding rows are simply advanced by one position.Then, WW = In, and the matrix W
X has kth row given by the dft wxs
withs
=k
1.
We introduce the following matrices that are used to provide a frequencydependent structure to the model for yt . Define:
A = n n selector matrix that zeroes out frequencies in WX that are notrelevant to the primary band of interest, say A. Then, A
cW= IAW extractsthe residual frequencies over cA. Note that A
cA = AAc = 0. = WAW and c = WAcW = I .
Then, for each n, y = y1 yn is generated in the frequency domain in dftform by the system
AWy = AWXA + AW(20)AcWy = AcWXAc + AcW(21)
where = 1 n. Equations (20) and (21) generate observations in thefrequency domain that correspond to the model (8) in the nonparametric case

with the final term of (8) omitted. In the stationary case, this omitted term isOpn
12 as seen in (9), so the difference between the generating mechanisms
is negligible asymptotically. In the nonstationary case, however, the omitted termis nonnegligible, as is apparent from (13) and (15). In consequence, the two gen-erating mechanisms differ in the nonstationary case and this leads to a differencein the asymptotic theory between the two models that will figure in our discus-sion in Section 5.
Adding (20) and (21) and multiplying by W gives
y = XA + c XAc +(22)which is the time domain generating mechanism for
y. By construction, the matri-
ces and c have elements that depend on n, and it follows that yt t =1 n has a triangular array structure, although we do not emphasize this byusing an additional subscript and we will have no need of triangular array limittheory in our asymptotic development.
In (22), t xt satisfies Assumption 1 in the stationary case and t x
t sat-
isfies Assumption 2 in the nonstationary case. Thus, (22) is a variable (banddependent) coefficient time series regression with exogenous regressors and sta-tionary errors under Assumption 1, and a cointegrating regression with exoge-nous regressors and band dependent coefficients under Assumption 2. Note that
model (22) is semiparametric: parametric in the regression coefficients A andAc and nonparametric in the regression errors .
We now suppose that the observed series yt has deterministic components likext in (1) and is related to the unobserved component yt by means of
y = Z1 + y(23)
Using (22) and (23), it follows that the observed data satisfy the model
y = Z1 2A + XA + cZ2A Ac cXA Ac + (24)
or, equivalently,
y = Z1 2Ac + Z2Ac A + XAc XAc A+ (25)
or
y = Z1 2A + cZ1 2Ac + XA + cXAc + (26)
These models extend (22) to cases where the observed data contain deterministictrends. Observe that the trend regressors z
tnow appear in the model with band
dependent coefficients, just like the exogenous regressors xt .The formulations (24)(26) make it clear that detrending the data in the time
domain is not a simple matter of applying the projection matrix QZ, as mightbe expected immediately from (1) and (23). In fact, correct trend removal isaccomplished by the use of the operator QV = I PV, where V = ZcZ or,
-

12/44
band spectral regression 1077
equivalently, in view of (26) V = ZcZ. Methods that rely on prefilteringby means of QZ do not fully remove the trends and this can have important
consequences, like biased and inconsistent estimates of the regression coefficientsA and Ac . Of course, when A = In the coefficient is invariant across bandsA = say, we have = In and c is null, so that V = Z and usual detrendingby QZ is appropriate. In that case (26) reduces to
y = Z1 2+ X + Put another way, conventional detrending by QZ implicitly assumes that there isno variation in the coefficient across frequency bands. If there are such variations,then correct detrending needs to take into account the effects of such variations
on the trends, as in (26). Otherwise, there will be misspecification bias fromomitted variables in the deterministic detrending.
Fixed Band Regressions and Misspecification Bias
A simple illustration with the Hannan (1963a) inefficient band-spectrumregression estimator shows the effects of such misspecification. This estimatorcan be constructed for the band A and then has the form
A =X Q
Z
QZ
X1X QZ
QZ
y(27)
with a corresponding formula for Ac , the estimator over the band cA. In form-
ing A and Ac , the data are filtered by a trend removal regression via the projec-tion QZ before performing the band-spectrum regression. This procedure followsHannans (1963a, b) recommendation for dealing with deterministic trends and,as we have discussed in the introduction, is the conventional approach in thiscontext. Using (24) and (27), we find
A = A + X QZ QZX1XQZ QZcZ2A Ac (28) cXA Ac +
= A X QZ QZX1XQZ QZc XA Ac = A X QZ QZ X1X QZ QZc XA Ac
and the corresponding formula for Ac is
Ac = Ac X QZcQZ X1X QZcQZXAc A (29)It follows that
EAX = A X QZ QZX1X QZ QZc XA Ac (30)and
EAc X = Ac XQZcQZX1XQZcQZXAc A

Hence, band-spectrum regression yields biased estimates of the coefficients whenA
=Ac and trend removal regression is conducted via the projection QZ.
To some extent, the problem with A is a finite sample one. In fact, for sta-tionary xt , the bias disappears as n . But, as we shall see in Section 5, whenxt is integrated the bias in Ac does not always disappear in the limit.
Narrow Band Regressions
In the nonparametric case we estimate in (5) at a particular frequency ,rather than over a fixed discrete band. In that case the band spectral estimatorhas the same form as (27) but the selector matrix A = A (respectively, = )chooses frequencies in a shrinking band about . We write the estimator as
= X QZQZX1X QZQZy(31)From the form of (15) it is apparent that the narrow band regression leading
to (31) omits the term involving the dft, wvs, of the differences vt = xt. Sothis narrow band regression also involves omitted variable misspecification.
An alternate nonparametric procedure is to use an augmented narrow bandregression in which the differences are included. To fix ideas, we detrend thedata using QZ and then perform a band spectral regression of the form
wyzs=
a1
wxzs+
a2
wxzs+
residual(32)
for frequencies s in a shrinking band around . In equation (32) the affix z onthe subscript (e.g., in wxzs) signifies that the data have been detrended beforetaking dfts. This approach is analogous to the augmented spectral regressionapproach of Phillips and Loretan (1991) for estimating a cointegrating vector.However, the narrow band regression (32) now applies for frequencies thatare nonzero as well as zero and prior detrending of the data has occurred in thetime domain. Define X = XX and a = a1 a2. Then
a

1X QZQZy(33)
In view of the relation (16), an estimate of = ei may be recovered froma using the linear combination
=
a1 ei 1a2 = 0a10 = 0

The asymptotic theory for the narrow band estimates and is developedin Section 5.

In case (38), it is apparent that eliminating the zero frequency will demeanthe data and leave the model unchanged for s

QZc = c Pzc = 0, and QZ = QV. It follows that XQZ QZc X = 0in (30) and therefore A is unbiased in this case of simple data demeaning.

and the second component of wd

cZ = 0 and QZ = QV, so that A is biased in this case. The same appliesfor higher order trends.
Frequencies in the band cA satisfy s > 0 > 0. It therefore follows fromLemma A and (37) that Wks = On
12 uniformly for s cA. Hence,
wds = On1/2 for all s cA(42)and, thus, cD = WAcWD has elements that are of On1/2.
4 frequency domain detrending
We consider first the fixed band regression model (22) and (23). The problemof the omitted variable bias evident in (28) can be dealt with either in the fre-quency domain or in the time domain. In the time domain, one simply detrendsusing the projection operator QV = I PV, where V = ZcZ, as is appar-ent from the form of (26). In the frequency domain, the alternative is to leavethe detrending until the regression is performed in the frequency domain.
To do frequency domain detrending, we simply apply the discrete Fouriertransform operator W to (24) and then perform the band spectrum regression.The transformed model is
Wy = WZ1 2A +W cZ2A Ac + WXA W cXA Ac + W
= WZ1 2A +AcWZ2A Ac + WXA AcWXA Ac + W
The resulting band spectral estimator for the band A is equivalent to a regres-sion on
AWy = AWZ1 2A + AWXA + AW(43)since AAc = 0, and therefore this estimator has the form
fA = X WAQAWZAWX1X WAQAWZAWy(44)
= A + X WAQAWZAWX1X WAQAWZAW
-
8/7/2019 Band spectral regression with trending data
16/44
band spectral regression 1081
Clearly, EfAX = A, and the estimator is unbiased. A similar result holds for
the corresponding estimator
fAc of Ac .
In this frequency domain approach to detrending, the so called FrischWaugh(1933) theorem clearly holds, i.e., the regression coefficient
fA on the variable
AWX in (43) is invariant to whether the regressor AWZ is included in the regres-sion or whether all the data have been previously detrended in the frequencydomain by regression on AWZ.
Following (32), the natural narrow band approach is to use an augmentedregression model that includes the dft of the trend in the regression, viz.
wys = c1wxs + c2wxs+ c3wzs+ residual(45)
for frequencies s centered on . This narrow band regression leads to the estimate
f =
c1 ei 1c2 = 0c10 = 0
(46)
similar to (34).
5 asymptotic theory
We derive a limit distribution theory for the detrended band spectral regres-sion estimates and consider what happens to the bias as n . We start byintroducing some notation and making the framework for the limit theory moreprecise.
We start with the parametric case where there are the two discrete bandsA and Ac . Let na = #s A and nc = #s Ac be the number offundamental frequencies in the bands A and Ac . It is convenient to subdivide into subbands j of equal width (say, /J) that center on frequenciesj = j/J j= J+ 1 J 1. Let m = #s j and suppose that Ja ofthese bands lie in A. It follows that n and na can be approximated by n
=2mJ
and na = 2mJa, respectively.In the nonparametric case, we focus on a single frequency and consider a
shrinking band of width /J centered on . Again, we let m = #s .The following condition will be useful in the development of the asymptotics
and will be taken to hold throughout the remainder of the paper. Additionalrequirements will be stated as needed.
Assumption 3: (a) na/n and nc/n 1 for some fixed number 0 1 as n .
(b) m J , and J /n 0 as n .For the bias in A to vanish asymptotically, the deviation that depends on the

in (28) needs to disappear as n . We will distinguish the two cases of sta-tionary and nonstationary (integrated)
xt corresponding to Assumptions 1 and 2
in the following discussion.
51 The Stationary Case

A similar requirement, obtained by interchanging and c in (47), holds forthe bias in Ac . We have the following result.
Theorem 1 (Semiparametric Case): If xt and t are zero mean, stationary,and ergodic time series satisfying Assumption 1, and yt is generated by (22), bandspectral regression with detrending in the time domain or in the frequency domainis consistent for both A and Ac . The common limit distribution of A and
fA is

with an analogous result for Ac and fAc .
In the stationary case, therefore, the bias in band spectral regression from timedomain detrending disappears as n and there is no difference between thetwo bands A and
cA in terms of the limit theory. It is therefore irrelevant
whether the main focus of interest is high or low frequency regression. The formof the asymptotic covariance matrix Va is a band spectral version of the familiarsandwich formula for the robust covariance matrix in least squares regression.Va can be estimated by replacing the spectra in the above formula with cor-responding consistent estimates and averaging over the band A. For the fullband case where A = , the matrix Va is the well known formula for theasymptotic covariance matrix of the least squares regression estimator in a timeseries regression (c.f. Hannan (1970, p. 426)). A formula related to Va was givenin Hannan (1963b, equation (16)) for band spectral estimates in the context ofmodels with measurement error.
A similar result holds in the nonparametric case, but with a different conver-gence rate.

52 The Nonstationary Case
Here, the distinction between low frequency regression and regression at otherfrequencies becomes important. In the band regression model (22), there areonly two bands A and
cA. Over A, which includes the zero frequency, the
estimator is known to be n-consistent when A = Ac (see Phillips (1991a)) sincein that case, the regression equation is a conventional cointegrating relation.When A = Ac , the same result continues to hold over the band A, as shownin Theorem 2 below. In this case, the bias in (28) disappears when

Note that in (49) the moment matrices are standardized by n2, because the datanonstationarity is manifest in bands like A that include the zero frequency. Overfrequency bands like cA that exclude the zero frequency the rate of convergence
of the moment matrices is slower and the bias in Ac will disappear when

p 0(50)Our starting point in the I 1 case is to provide some limit theory for dis-
crete Fourier transforms of I 1 and detrended I 1 processes. The followingtwo lemmas do this and provide a limit theory for periodogram averages of suchprocesses. The remainder of the limit theory then follows in a fairly straightfor-ward way from these lemmas. To make the derivations simpler we confine ourattention here to the case of a linear trend.

Equation (51) shows that the discrete Fourier transforms of an I 1 process are
not asymptotically independent across fundamental frequencies. Indeed, they are
frequency-wise dependent by virtue of the component n1/2xn, which produces acommon leakage into all frequencies s = 0, even in the limit as n . As thenext lemma shows, this leakage is strong enough to ensure that smoothed peri-
odogram estimates of the spectral density fxx = 1ei2fvv are inconsis-tent at frequencies cA. Lemma C(f) shows that the leakage is still manifestwhen the data are first detrended in the time domain. On the other hand, it is
apparent from (41) that we can write (51) as
wxs = 11 eis wvs+ w tn sxn x0(52)
from which it is clear that frequency domain detrending (i.e., using residuals from
regressions of the frequency domain data on wt/ns or wds) will remove the
second term of (51) and thereby eliminate the common leakage from the low
frequency.

So, when the regressors are I 1, band spectral regression is inconsistent infrequency bands that exclude the origin when detrending is performed in the timedomain prior to frequency domain regression. The bias is random and is linearin the differential, Ac
A, between the coefficients in the frequency bands. In
the case of a linear trend zt = t, the limit function f1 = ei/ei 1 and thenthe bias depends on

In that case, the limit (57) reduces to the same mixed normaldistribution as (53). Part (a) shows also that the estimator is inconsistent atall frequencies = 0 except when ei = 0. The bias in 0 and inconsistencyin are due to omitted variable misspecification in the regression.

In fixed band regression models there is usually some advantage to be gainedby averaging over the band and using weighted regression, as shown in Hannans(1963a, b) original work. Efficient regression is based on a weighted band spec-tral regression that uses a preliminary regression to obtain estimates of the equa-tion errors and a corresponding estimate of the error spectrum, say f, thatis uniformly consistent so that sup f f p 0 (e.g., Hannan (1970,p. 488)). When such weighted regression is performed with frequency domaindetrending, the resulting estimates have optimal properties for both the nonsta-tionary component and the stationary component. For A, the limit distributionis the same as (59) and is optimal in the sense of Phillips (1991b). For
Ac ,
the limit distribution of the efficient estimate is normal with variance matrix2
cA
fxxf1 d1 and therefore attains the usual efficiency bound in
time series regression (e.g., Hannan (1970, eqn. (3.4), p. 427)) adjusted here forband limited regression (Hannan (1963, eqn. (16))). Details are omitted and areavailable in an earlier version of the present paper.

So, fA and
f0 are consistent and have the same mixed normal limit distribution
as that of
A in (53). The limit distribution makes asymptotic inference about A
and 0 straightforward, using conventional regression Wald tests adjusted in theusual fashion so that a consistent estimate of the spectrum of t is used (basedon regression residuals) in place of a variance estimate.
The frequency domain detrended estimators fAc and
f are also consistent,
unlike the time detrended estimator = 0 in the nonstationary case. Thelimit distribution of
fAc is the same as it is in the case of trend stationary regres-
sors (Theorem 1) and has the same
n rate. The nonparametric estimator f is
m consistent and is asymptotically equivalent to the augmented regression esti-mator . As far as the model (11) is concerned, it is therefore apparent from
Theorems 2 and 3 that if the correct augmented regression model is used inestimation, it does not matter asymptotically whether detrending is done in thetime domain or the frequency domain.
6 conclusion
It is natural to eliminate deterministic trends in the time domain by simple leastsquares regression because the GrenanderRosenblatt (1957, p. 244) theoremshows that such regression is asymptotically efficient when the time series aretrend stationary (although this conclusion does not hold when there are stochas-tic as well as deterministic trendssee Phillips and Lee (1996)). In a similar way,it seems natural to eliminate deterministic trends in band spectral regressions bydetrending in the time domain prior to the use of spectral methods because thesemethods were originally intended for application to stationary time series. How-ever, this paper shows that such time domain detrending will lead to biased coef-ficient estimates in models where the coefficients are frequency dependent. Inmodels that have both deterministic and stochastic trends, time domain detrend-ing can lead to inconsistent estimates of the coefficients at frequency bands awayfrom the origin. The inconsistency, which arises from omitted variable effects,
can be substantial and has been confirmed in simulations that are not reportedhere (Corbae, Ouliaris, and Phillips (1997)).
The bias and inconsistency arise from omitted variable misspecification andare managed by use of an appropriate augmented regression model. The situa-tion is analogous to a structural break model, but here the coefficients changeacross frequency rather than over time. An alternate approach that is suitable inpractice is to model the data and run regressions, including detrending regres-sions, in the frequency domain. In effect, discrete Fourier transforms of all thevariables in the model, including the deterministic trends, are taken and bandregression is performed. When nonparametric estimation is being conducted, thesame principle is employed but one uses a shrinking band that is local to a par-ticular frequency. In the nonstationary case, it turns out to be particularly impor-tant to specify the model in terms of levels and differences as in (15) leading tothe fitted regressions (32) and (45). An estimate of the frequency response coef-ficient at a particular frequency is then recovered from a linear combination of
-

the coefficients in the regression as in (34) and (46). This approach, which canbe regarded as a frequency domain version of leads and lags dynamic regression,
provides a convenient single equation method of estimating a long run relation-ship in the presence of deterministic trends and short run dynamics.

j=

2 Hannan (1973, Theorem 3) showed that a finite collection ofws satisfy a central limit theorem
and are independent. Here the collection s has m members and is asymptotically infinite.Phillips (2000, Theorem 3.2) showed that an asymptotically infinite collection of ws satisfy acentral limit theorem and are asymptotically independent for frequencies s in the neighborhood of
the origin provided the number of frequencies m = on 12 + 1p where Et p < for some p > 2,i.e., provided the number of frequencies does not go to infinity too fast. This result can be extended
to frequency bands away from the origin, although a proof was not given in that paper.

in distribution to zero giving the stated result.

Proof of Theorem 3: Part (a) First note that
wxs = 2wzs +wxs = 2nwds + wxs with a similar expression for wy s . The regression (45) is equivalent to the following regressionwith frequency domain detrended data:
wfyds = c1wfxd s + c2wfxds + residual(120)

where
wfxds = wxs wds s
wds wds 1 s
wds wxs = wxs wds
s
wds wds 1
s wds wxs
= wfxd s say
with a similar expression for wfyds = wfyd s , and
w

s wds wxs = wvs + op1
For = 0, as in the proof of Theorem 2, the regressors in (120) are asymptotically orthogonalbecause
n3/2
s 0w
fxds wvs
= Opn1/2
Next, using Lemma C(j)(m), we find as in (116) above that

It follows using (15) and these two results that

BxudBNext consider the = 0 case. First we simplify the regression equation (120):
wfyd s = c1wfxds + c2wfxds + residual(121)

Using (73) and Lemma C(n)(o) we obtain
