Solved – Newey-West robust standard errors for autocorrelation only (no heteroskedasticity)

May I use the Newey-West procedure when I have only autocorrelation?
Or can I only use the Newey-West when I have autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity?

Best Answer

The N-W error structure is assumed to be heteroskedastic and possibly autocorrelated up to some lag.

If you errors are assumed to follow a first-order autoregressive process, you can use Prais-Winsten or Cochrane-Orcutt regression.

If it is longer, ARMA might work.
