Summary:
This thesis presents various formulations of finite distributed lag models. The objective is to demonstrate how prior restrictions may be imposed on econometric models in order to estimate the lag distributions. Four formulations are thus reviewed, namely, the arithmetic lag model, the inverted-V lag model, the Almon polynomial, and the cubic spline lag model. For the latter formulations, the interpolation methods are reviewed. In addition, four models of consumption are estimated under the various lag models, for different lag lengths and orders of polynomials, in order to demonstrate the properties of each formulation. In the discussion of the results, certain inferences are made about the consumption functions.
