Maximum likelihood estimation with HP filtered data: an invariance theorem

Timothy Cogley ()

No 94-12, Working Papers in Applied Economic Theory from Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

Abstract: Applying the Hodrick-Prescott filter to both the approximating model and the data adds a constant to the log-likelihood function. Thus, maximum likelihood estimates and likelihood ratio statistics are invariant to symmetric HP filtering.
