An Aggregation-Independent Autocorrelation Test

ABSTRACT

The Koyck scheme has been a popular assumption in the dynamic modeling of sales

response to advertising. This paper proposes an autocorrelation test to assess whether

or not available sales series arise from a Koyck-type distributed lag scheme. The test is

based on the peculiar nature of the autocovariances of sales series under the Koyck

assumption. Since the peculiar property is insensitive to the level of aggregation of the

sales series, the testing procedure is readily applicable to any finite sales series.

Key Words: Distributed-Lag Models; Koyck; Autocovariance; Autocorrelation.

1. Introduction

Substantial effort has gone into the modeling of dynamic sales response to

advertising using time series data. As parsimony has been an important criteria in these

efforts, a number of theoretically plausible response schemes which parsimoniously

capture the fundamental aspects of dynamic sales response have been proposed. Perhaps

the most popular scheme is the Koyck model (Koyck 1954). Although arising from a clever

algebraic manipulation, the model is appealing because of the presumed link between

advertising effectiveness and consumer memory decay.

Despite its popularity, substantially less work has been done on testing whether

or not the a priori model is appropriate given available time series observations. In

applied econometric work in marketing, the simple model specification to which the Koyck

scheme gives rise is used as a starting point from which other measurement or estimation

issues are investigated. Indeed, Hanssens, Parsons and Schultz (1990, p. 225) argue that

many of the published Koyck models would not survive a careful test. Although

specification testing in applied econometric work in marketing is in general the exception

rather than the rule, the chronic lack of it in the use of the Koyck model might be linked to

estimation difficulties. Specifically, the small-sample properties of the derived estimates

are not well established. This results from two complicating factors in the model:

autocorrelated errors and stochastic regressors. Since at best desirable asymptotic

properties can be obtained, it becomes difficult (if not impossible) to rely on traditional

specification analysis approaches (Theil 1971). This becomes particularly complicated

when only temporally aggregated time series observations are available.

Specification testing receives substantially more attention in the time-series

literature (Box and Jenkins 1976). However, transfer function modeling requires

advertising (or marketing efforts in general) to be stochastic (Hanssens, Parsons and

Schultz 1990). Although advertising series might appear stochastic and could conceivably

be described by an ARMA process, one would be hard pressed to argue that the

advertising budgeting and allocation decisions underlying the series are implicitly random.

The testing of whether or not the Koyck scheme is appropriate can nevertheless

be accomplished rather simply. This paper illustrates a procedure which is based on

knowing only the sales series. With the firm's advertising decision behavior being

deterministic, the autocovariances of the sales series implied by the Koyck model are

derived. They are shown to have a peculiar characteristic which recurs irrespective of the

level of temporal aggregation. That characteristic is linked with an established time series

test to arrive at a straightforward and directly applicable testing procedure.

2. Analytic Framework

The Koyck Model

The Koyck model finds its origin in a distributed lag specification of sales

response to advertising, or

st = 13o at + pi _ + P2 at _ 2 + + vt (1)

where s t denotes sales at time t, and at denotes advertising at time t with

E (vt) = 0, E (vt vt _ i) = c7,3 for i = 0 and E (v t vt _ i) = 0 for i 0. For simplicity, but without

loss of generality, all intercept terms will be suppressed.

The Koyck scheme refers to a specific assumption about the response parametersi = 1, 2, 3, .... in (1). Specifically, the effect of the lagged advertising terms is a

declining geometric sequence

Ri = (1 - X.)

for i = 1,2,3.... (2)

with 0 < < 1. This hypothesised pattern of response is appealing because of the

presumed link between marketing effectiveness and consumer memory decay. It seems

intuitive that advertising recall peaks immediatley and then gradually decays. With

assumption (2), it can be shown that model (1) can be expressed parsimoniously as

st = st_i + 0 at + tit (3)

where 13 = y (1 - X) and tit = vt - Hence, in a Koyck scheme, the disturbance term tit

in (3) has the following properties:

E (10 = 0,

and

Page 5: Testing the Koyck Scheme of Sales Response to Advertising ...flora.insead.edu/fichiersti_wp/Inseadwp1990/90-77.pdfAn Aggregation-Independent Autocorrelation Test ABSTRACT The Koyck

5

E (u t u t = 0 for N >1

= - X cs,3 for N = 1 (4)

= (5.3 (1 + 22) for i = O.

Model (3) is the Koyck model often estimated in applied econometric work in

marketing (for a recent overview, see Hanssens, Parsons, and Schultz 1990). 1 Parameter

X in (3) is commonly referred to as the advertising carryover parameter. Modifications of

(2) have been considered where the geometric process kicks in after a number of lags.

The net result is that additional lagged advertising terms show up in the parsimonious

expression (3). This is inconsequential for the results derived here as the testing

procedure relies entirely on disturbance term ut and its properties which are not altered

when one imposes a Koyck pattern after a certain lag. Although this will make the testing

procedure applicable to a wide range of specifications, it also implies that when the

empirical evidence is in favour of the Koyck scheme, one will not be able to discriminate

among various delayed or instant geometric declining sequences. One should keep in

mind, however, that the objective and strength of any testing lies in being able to reject (or

disprove) a hypothesis. Interpretive issues arising once the evidence does not enable

rejection are secondary. They should nevertheless not be ignored, and the lack of

discriminatory power once the Koyck scheme cannot be rejected will be discussed later.

Autocovariances of the Sales Series

Successive substitution in expression (3) implies that st can be expressed as

s t = [a t + X at _ + X2 at _ 2 +

+ [11, + ut-1+^,2 ut- 2+ ].

When advertising is deterministic (i.e., no random component enters either the budgeting

and/or the allocation rule),

E (s t) = 13 [a t + at _ + - 2 + (5)

By definition, the autocovariance between s t and St - k equals

Coy (so St - = E [S t - E (S t)] [ S t - k E (St -

which, incorporating expression (5), can be written as

Coy (s t, St-k) = E [U t + X UL - 1 + A-2 Ut- 2 + ) (ut - k + XUt - k - I + X2 Ut - k -2 +Or

Coy (st, s t k) = E (u t ut _ k + X ut Ut - k - 1 + X2 Ut Ut - k - 2 +

Given the properties of disturbance ut shown in (4), the autocovariance becomes

Rearranging the terms,

Cov (s i , st _ = Xk {- a?, + a? (1 + X2) - X2 Gil

▪ xk + 2 [_ cyz (53 4. 22) _ x2 (3.?]

xk + 4 [_ (3,3 + + x2 ) _ x2 0.31

▪ xk + i + 1 [_ c53 +a3 +x2)-x2avJ

Since the recurring terms in brackets all equal zero, it is evident that Co y (s, s,_ = 0 for

all k 0. Hence, the autocovariance matrix of the sales series arising from a Koyck

scheme is a scalar matrix with the scalar equal to the variance of the stationary sales

series (i.e., (53 (1 + 7, 2) as shown in (4)).

When the sales series are aggregated over time

(i.e., S t = st + st _ 1 + st _ 2 + + S t _ m 1 ), the observations will consist of the moving-sum

series St, S t _ m, .... etc. For a stationary autoregressive process, an autocovariance

generating function exists which equals (Teller 1967)

Cov (S t, S t _ k) = B (L) B (L-1 ) Cov (s,, s t _ (6)

with B (L) = 1 + L + L2 + + Lm I where L denotes the lag operator (i.e., L St = s,-1).

For the Koyck model, expression (6) together with the autocovariance results

derived above imply that Cov (S t, S t _ k) = 0 and this for all m and k 0. In other words,

irrespective of the level of temporal aggregation, the autocovariance matrix of the sales

series arising from a Koyck scheme is a scalar matrix. This unconditional property

becomes the basis for the testing procedure discussed next.

3. Testing Procedure

Autocorrelation Function

The autocovariance results obtained above can be readily extended to

autocorrelation, since by definition

Pk = coy (st, st-k)/var (st) for all k

(7)

where p denotes autocorrelation and var (s t) denotes variance of the stationary sales

series. This relationship is particularly useful as the autocorrelation matrix has been

studied extensively in the time-series literature (Box and Jenkins 1976). Hence, standard

testing results from that literature can be applied to the peculiar autocorrelation pattern

implied by the Koyck scheme.

The autocovariance results derived above imply that the autocorrelation matrix is

an identity matrix2. Hence, the autocorrelation function or correlogram (the positive side of

the plot of autocorrelations as a function of lags) has a spike of magnitude one at zero and

zero for every other lag. This function plays a critical role in time-series analysis in

identifying the stochastic process generating the series. It is interesting to note that in

that literature "carryover" leads to autocorrelation functions whose signs alternate and

damp out with increasing lags (Box and Jenkins 1976, p. 33). This is strikingly different

from the autocorrelation function implies by a Koyck model which in the sales response

literature in marketing is associated with carryover effects.

Estimation and Testing

The development up to now has only considered theoretical autocovariances and

autocorrelations implied by a Koyck scheme. In applied research, finite time series on

sales are available and only estimates of the autocovariances and autocorrelations can be

derived. The estimate of the k-lag autocorrelation identified as most satisfactory in the

time-series literature equals (Jenkins and Watts 1968)

p k = coy (sr, St-k)/var (sr)

where

coy (st, St-k) = 1n

(St--S)(St-k-i) for all k,n - k +1 t=k

and

Val' (S t) = En (stt.i

with s denoting the sample mean of the observed series.

For inference purposes, an estimate of the variance of Pk is needed. For a series

whose autocorrelations are zero beyond lag q, Bartlett (1946) provides the approximation

var ( 1 + 2E p?)

for k >q1=1

which implies that for the sales series in a Koyck model, the simple yardstick of

var ( = l/n is a pretty good approximation.

Assuming that the autocorrelation estimates p k (for all k) are distributed

normally with their true value p k as mean and (1/n) as variance, the classical t-test can

be relied upon to test whether or not the autocorrelations are significantly different from

zero. If the empirical results for the finite sales series imply some p k for k > 0 to be

significantly different from zero, this would suggest that the Koyck scheme is not an

appropriate scheme to parsimoniously represent dynamic sales response to advertising.

In the identification process in time-series analysis, this test is usually

supplemented with a partial autocorrelation test because the inference of the true

stochastic process can be severely hampered by spurious autocorrelations (Hanssens,

Parsons, and Schultz 1990, p. 123). The objective there is to identify singularly significant

spikes in the autocorrelation function. The inference question in this paper is slightly

different. The objective is to falsify the Koyck model hypothesis and, hence, the lack of

singularly significant spikes is being assessed. In that sense, the t-test in itself suffices

and spurious autocorrelations make that test more powerful.

4. Discussion and Conclusion

The autocorrelation test just described is readily applicable to any sales series

even when the observations are aggregated over time. This is a direct result from the fact

that, as shown above, the autocorrelation function is identical across levels of aggregation.

The power of the test is a function of the number of observations in the sales series. Both

the autocorrelation estimates and Bartlett's approximation of their variance improve as the

number of observations increases. The yardstick generally applied in time-series analysis

is that the finite series should have at least 50 observations.

As pointed out above already, if the empirical evidence suggests that the Koyck

hypothesis cannot be rejected, the procedure does not allows for the identification of the

exact scheme underlying the data. In other words, if the null hypothesis cannot be

rejected, the test has no power in discriminating, for example, a delayed Koyck scheme

from an instantaneous one. The inferential power of the test lies in its ability to reject the

often selected Koyck model based on a finite series of sales observations.

Footnotes

1. Hanssens, Parsons, and Schultz (1990, p. 225) report that the mere presence of X. > 0

in (3) is often used as sufficient evidence of a Koyck response process.

2. In spectral analysis terminology, the Koyck model implies a uniform spectral density

function.
