Northholland testing for fourthorder autocorrelation in regression disturbances when firstorder autocorrrelation is present maxwell l. Various factors can produce residuals that are correlated with each other, such as an omitted variable or the wrong functional form. The acf will first test whether adjacent observations are autocorrelated. Time series regression usually involves independent variables other than a time trend. This is known as lag one autocorrelation, since one of the pair of tested observations lags the other by one period or sample. Interpreting autocorrelation correlogram statistics help.

Serial correlation in the firstdifferenced errors at an order higher than 1 implies that the moment conditions. If the autocorrelation is significant, yes, this is a problem, since this implies, you missed to include some information. The two main culprits for autocorrelation are sluggishness in the business cycle also known as inertia and omitted variables from the model.

The durbin watson test dw is maybe the most common test for autocorrelation and is based on the assumption that the structure is of first order. In their estimate, they scale the correlation at each lag by the sample variance vary,1 so that the autocorrelation at lag 0 is unity.
