The Band pass filter

Lawrence Christiano () and Terry J Fitzgerald ()

No 9906, Working Paper from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Abstract: The "ideal" band-pass filter can be used to isolate the component of a time series that lies within a particular band of frequencies, but applying this filter requires a data set of infinite length. In practice, some sort of approximation is needed. Using projections, the authors derive approximations that are optimal when the time-series representations underlying the raw data have a unit root, or are stationary about a trend.
