medium · FRM Part 1 Quantitative Analysis

A firm uses an AR(1) model for its inventory levels: x_t = 10 + 0.8 x_t-1 + ε_t.

What is the long-run mean of this process, and how quickly does it revert after a shock?

  1. Mean = 12.5; this process is deemed non-stationary overall.
  2. Mean = 10; reversion to that level occurs immediately next period.
  3. Mean = 80; the process behaves as a pure unit-root random walk here.
  4. Mean = 50; reversion speed is governed by the parameter 0.8.
