Asymptotic distribution of least square estimators for linear models with dependent errors : regular designs

International audienceIn this paper, we consider the usual linear regression model in the case where the error process is assumed strictly stationary. We use a result from Hannan (1973), who proved a Central Limit Theorem for the usual least squares estimator under general conditions on the design and the error process. We show that for a large class of designs, the asymptotic covariance matrix is as simple as the independent and identically distributed case. We then estimate the covariance matrix using an estimator of the spectral density whose consistency is proved under very mild conditions
