Location: Line 147-162 / Section "A particular additive functional"

Severity: warning

Description: Abrupt transition from introducing the general additive functional to the linear state-space representation without adequately connecting why this representation is needed or how it relates to understanding the additive functional's behavior.

  • Current text:
Here $y_0 \sim {\cal N}(\mu_{y0}, \Sigma_{y0})$ is a random
initial condition for $y$.

The nonstationary random process $\{y_t\}_{t=0}^\infty$ exhibits systematic random *arithmetic growth*.

### Linear state-space representation

  • Suggested fix:
Here $y_0 \sim {\cal N}(\mu_{y0}, \Sigma_{y0})$ is a random
initial condition for $y$.

The nonstationary random process $\{y_t\}_{t=0}^\infty$ exhibits systematic random *arithmetic growth*.

### Linear state-space representation

To analyze and simulate this additive functional systematically, we need a convenient computational framework. A natural approach is to represent our additive functional using a [linear state space system](https://python-intro.quantecon.org/linear_models.html).
  • Explanation: The added sentence creates a smoother transition by explaining the motivation for introducing the state-space representation, connecting it to the practical goals of analysis and simulation rather than presenting it as an unmotivated mathematical reformulation.

### Decomposition

Hansen and Sargent {cite}`Hans_Sarg_book` describe how to construct a decomposition of
an additive functional into four parts:

- a constant inherited from initial values $x_0$ and $y_0$
- a linear trend
- a martingale
- an (asymptotically) stationary component

To attain this decomposition for the particular class of additive
functionals defined by {eq}`old1_additive_functionals` and {eq}`old2_additive_functionals`, we first construct the matrices

Description: The VAR structure and additive functional construction are described purely through equations without visual representation.

  • Current text:
We construct our  additive functional from two pieces, the first of which is a **first-order vector autoregression** (VAR).

```{math}
:label: old1_additive_functionals

x_{t+1} = A x_t + B z_{t+1}

Here

  • $x_t$ is an $n \times 1$ vector,
  • $A$ is an $n \times n$ stable matrix (all eigenvalues lie within the open unit circle),
  • $z_{t+1} \sim {\cal N}(0,I)$ is an $m \times 1$ IID shock,
  • $B$ is an $n \times m$ matrix, and
  • $x_0 \sim {\cal N}(\mu_0, \Sigma_0)$ is a random initial condition for $x$

The second piece is an equation that expresses increments
of ${y_t}_{t=0}^\infty$ as linear functions of

  • a scalar constant $\nu$,
  • the vector $x_t$, and
  • the same Gaussian vector $z_{t+1}$ that appears in the VAR {eq}old1_additive_functionals

For example, note that most mass is near $1$ for $T =10$ or $T = 100$ but most of it is near $0$ for $T = 5000$.

As $T$ grows, the tail of the density of $\widetilde M_T$ lengthens toward the right.
