Dear Tom

Trust you are well. However, I need your help again. I have time series data, they have Unit Root at level but 1st difference they are ok. I am taking data 1st difference and lag1, lag2, and lag3 for estimation. The result shows that it is not significant. My asking question is that this result carry any value or not. Please explain it.

Thanking you

If a series is a random walk or very close to it, that would be exactly the behavior you would expect.
