Abstract
ABSTRACT We consider a linear trend regression model when the disturbances follow a serially correlated one-way error component model. In this model, we investigate the performance of the Ordinary Least Squares Esitmator (OLSE), First Difference Estimator (FDE), Generalized Least Squares Estimator (GLSE) and the Cochrane-Orcutt-Transformation Estimator (COTE) of slope coefficient in terms of efficiency. The main findings are as follows: (1) when the autocorrelation is close to unity, then the FDE is approximately the GLSE; (2) the OLSE is better than the COTE; and (3) when the value of the autocorrelation is kept constant and T → ∞, the OLSE, COTE and GLSE are asymptotically equivalent whereas the FDE is worse than the other estimators in terms of efficiency.
