I currently apply a VAR models with the vars package in R. There are the options to select "both""both"
, "none""none"
, "trend""trend"
, "constant"or "constant"
.
I searched a little but I didn't find conclusive evidence to know what constant"const"
exactly means?.
I found this plot and I'm curious, whether constant"const"
means "cycle", also sometimes described as "drift"?
Trend"trend"
should be clear as a time series that is trending up- or downwards is trending. I assume most economic time series to be either constant+trend or constant?
