Abstract

Standardized slowly varying regressors are shown to be Lp-approximable. This fact allows us to provide alternative proofs of asymptotic expansions of nonstochastic quantities and central limit results due to P.C.B. Phillips, under a less stringent assumption on linear processes. The recourse to stochastic calculus related to Brownian motion can be completely dispensed with.

Footnotes

The paper has been significantly improved following comments and suggestions by three anonymous referees and an associate editor. I am especially grateful to one of the referees for a cryptic remark that my paper “opens the way to use the important results of Cremers and Kadelka (1986).”
