Dear Tom:

In calssical Clark(1987) model, (1) Yt=Tt+Ct, (2) Tt=Tt-1 + dt-1 + nt, (3) dt= dt-1 + ut, (4) PHI(L)Ct = et. Clark said this model can not be identified if depentence of int and et.
In Morrly Nelson Zvoit(2003), they just estimated UC-AR(2) rather than UC-AEMA(2,2).
Can we delete eq(3) in Clark model, and extend PHI(L) Ct to ARMA(2,2) to setup typically UC model as follows:
UC model with arma(2,2): (i) Yt=Tt+Ct, (ii) Tt=Tt-1 + u + nt, (iii) Ct - phi1*Ct-1 - phi2*Ct-2 = et + theta1*et-1 + theta2*et-2
how to specify it. I dont know thether model can be identified if independence between nt and et.

Thanks

You might want to look at:

http://faculty.washington.edu/ezivot/re ... 162006.pdf

which extends the MNZ analysis to Clark's double drift model. The use of an ARMA rather than AR for the cycle shouldn't be of real consequence. However, an ARMA(2,2) for the cycle is likely to be overparameterized.

Dear Tom:

I had read this paper that estimate double drifts. I also had read another paper "The Clark Model with Correlated Components," with Kum Hwa Oh. January, which estimate UC-ARMA(2,1) with Correlated Components
I slightly modefied MZN's UC-AR(2) to UC-ARMA(2,1) based on previous paper. I modified af,zf,f matrics.
However, I encounter problem. "## MAT6. Trying to Store 2 x 2 Matrix Into VECTOR "
I do not know which is 2 x 2 Matrix. When I estimate UC-arma(2,1) even Uc-arma(2,2) without correlated components, estimation are rightly worked but coef. of MA insignificent.
