问题如下:
When modeling lnYt using a time trend model, what is the relationship between expET[lnYT+h] and ET[YT+h] for any forecasting period h? Are these ever the same? Assume the error terms is normally distributed around a mean of zero.

解释:
A time trend model for lnYt can be stated as:
lnYt=g(t)+ϵt,ϵ∼N(0,σ2),
where g(t) is a function of t.
So,
ET[lnYT+h]=g(T+h),
which gives
expET[lnYT+h]=exp[g(T+h)],
On the other hand:
ET[YT+h]=ET[exp(g(T+h)+ϵT+h)]=exp(g(T+h)+ET[exp epsilonT+h)],
which equals
ET[YT+h]=exp[[g(T+h)+σ2/2]
And so:
ET[YT+h]=expET[[lnYT+h+σ2/2]
These will be equal if the variance is zero (in other words, if the process is completely deterministic.
E(exp(εt+h)))为什么不等于1而是σ^2呀?E(εt+h)不是等于0吗?谢谢!
