To distinguish data have stationary or not that have ACF or PACF figure diagnosis, DF, ADF, and PP methods. It is too arbitrary to use figure diagnosis to judge variable’s stationary. The study wants to use Augmented Dickey and Fuller test (ADF) that it is purpose to eliminate error term correlations. The model has three styles that show below. p

A. no intercept and no time trend items: yt   yt 1   t yt 1   t

t 1 p

B. intercept and no time trend item: yt     yt 1   t yt 1   t

(2)

t 1 p

C. intercept and time trend item: yt     t   yt 1   t yt 1   t

(3)

t 1

The study uses unit root process allowing for intercept and time trend to determine whether there is a unit root in the data series. 3.3 Granger Causality Most of economic model often assume different hypotheses to discuss variables’ relationship. However they could not make sure variables’ cause and effect relationship. Granger (1969) first person brought up to define lead and lag relations based on role of predictability. He uses twin factors of VAR to find variables’ causal relationship. It assumes two series X t and Yt that define those messages set. k

To test four coefficients find out variables’ relationship. a.  2i  0 and 1i  0 : It means Y lead X or X lag Y. b. 1i  0 and 2i  0 : It means X lead Y or Y lag X. c.  2i  0 and 1i  0 : It means both of variables are independent. 17 | P a g e
