HP filter
• The Hodrick-Prescott Filter is a smoothingmethod that is widely used amongmacroeconomists to obtain a smooth estimateof the long-term trend component of a series.
• The method was first used in a working paper(circulated in the early 1980’s and publishedin1997) by Hodrick and Prescott to analyzepostwar U.S. business cycles.
![Page 27: Introduction to E-views · 2014-06-17 · Introduction • Opening an Eviews workfile • Loading data into e-views –Direct load –Importing –Command/program based importation](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040203/5e92f5c917442b6f3c33e775/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
HP filter
• Technically, the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter is a two-sided linear filter that computes the smoothed series (s) of (Y) by minimizing the variance of (Y) around (s), subject to a penalty that constrains the second difference of (s)
• That is, the HP filter chooses to minimize (s):

HP Filtering in E-views• To compute an HP filtered series in E-views you need to open
the data series
• Then go to procedures and select HP Filter

Name the new filtered series
Alternative is to use the RavanUhlig (2002) power rule and set power to 4

Countercyclical capital buffer • Designed to limit pro-cyclicality
• Configuration of the buffer based on deviations of credit to gdp ratio from longrun trends
• Buffer rules are that:
– Capital requirement 2.5% if deviation > 10%
– Proportional upto 2.5% if deviation is between 2% and 10%
– Zero if deviation is less than 2%
– Lamda provided by basel

Class exercise 4
• Generate filtered series for credit and nominal GDP
• Plot the business cycle against the financial cycle and comment
• Generate filtered credit to GDP ratio and compute countercyclical capital buffers requirements

Frequency/ Band pass filters
• They are used to isolate the cyclical componentof a time series by specifying a range for itsduration.
• The filter takes a two sided weighted movingaverage of the data where cycles in a band givenby the specified upper and lower limits arepassed through and the remaining filtered out.
• There are two types of filters i.e. fixed lengthsymmetric filters and full sample asymmetricfilters:
![Page 37: Introduction to E-views · 2014-06-17 · Introduction • Opening an Eviews workfile • Loading data into e-views –Direct load –Importing –Command/program based importation](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040203/5e92f5c917442b6f3c33e775/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Frequency/Band pass filters
Fixed length symmetric filters– Baxter and King (1999) – Christiano and Fitzgerald (2003)
• Symmetric filters are time invariant since moving averages depend on the specified frequency range and do not use the full data
• Require same number of leads and lags and therefore loses endpoint information
Full sample asymmetric filter– Christiano and Fitzgerald (2003)
• Weights on the leads and lags are allowed to differ• Calculated to the end of the original sample
![Page 38: Introduction to E-views · 2014-06-17 · Introduction • Opening an Eviews workfile • Loading data into e-views –Direct load –Importing –Command/program based importation](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040203/5e92f5c917442b6f3c33e775/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Frequency and band pass filters
• Fixed length symmetric filters the weight matrix is of dimension 1*(q+1) where q is the number of user specified lags
• Filtered series is computed as:
