Here u_t is the quarterly average of the monthly unemployment rate (UNRATE), and g_t = 100·ln(GDPC1_t/GDPC1_{t−1}) is real GDP growth in percent quarter-on-quarter, not annualised. The sample is 1960Q1–2019Q4 (240 quarters). The standard error must stay valid when the errors are serially correlated (Newey–West HAC). The question is whether β is negative and significant at the 5% level.\n\n## Data and exclusions\n- `data/UNRATE.csv`: 945 monthly rows, 1948-01 to 2026-09. `data/GDPC1.csv`: 319 quarterly rows, 1947Q1 to 2026Q3. Both are the current FRED vintage and were used as given. Dates are unique, monotonic and regularly spaced.\n- Quarterly u_t is the mean of the 3 months in the quarter. A quarter counts only if all 3 months are present.\n- Data issue: UNRATE has an empty value for 2025-10. This is outside the window needed (1959Q4–2019Q4), so it has no effect. GDPC1 has no missing values.\n- The 1959Q4 levels are used only to form the 1960Q1 differences. No observation after 2019Q4 is used. All 240 quarters in the window have complete data, so none were excluded.\n\n## Method\n- OLS of Δu_t on a constant and g_t, using statsmodels.\n- Naïve SE: the conventional homoskedastic, independent-errors OLS standard error.\n- HAC SE: Newey–West with the Bartlett kernel. Bandwidth L = floor(4·(T/100)^{2/9}) = floor(4·2.4^{0.222}) = **4 quarters**. This is the standard Newey–West (1994) rule-of-thumb plug-in for the Bartlett kernel. Four quarters is also one year, which is a natural horizon for quarterly macro data. statsmodels' small-sample correction (factor T/(T−k)) is applied.\n- 95% CI: β̂ ± 1.96·se_hac, using the normal approximation, which is the standard asymptotic justification for HAC inference. Two-sided test of H0: β = 0 with the HAC SE.\n- The whole analysis is deterministic and uses no random numbers. Running `out/analysis.py` regenerates `results.json`, `figure1.png` and a supplementary file, `diagnostics.json`.\n\n## Results\n| quantity | value |\n|---|---|\n| β̂ (Okun coefficient) | −0.2558 |\n| α̂ | 0.1844 pp |\n| R² | 0.408 |\n| se_iid | 0.0200 |\n| se_hac (L = 4) | 0.0360 |\n| 95% HAC CI for β | [−0.3263, −0.1852] |\n| HAC t-statistic / p-value | −7.11 / 1.2e−12 |\n| mean g_t | 0.754 % per quarter |\n| n | 240 (1960Q1–2019Q4) |\n\nA 1 percentage point increase in quarterly real GDP growth goes with a 0.26 pp fall in the unemployment rate that quarter. The implied growth rate at which unemployment stays constant is −α̂/β̂ ≈ 0.72% per quarter, close to the sample mean growth of 0.75%. **The Okun coefficient is negative and significantly different from zero at the 5% level** (`okun_negative_5pct = true`).

Here u_t is the quarterly average of the monthly unemployment rate (UNRATE), and g_t = 100·ln(GDPC1_t/GDPC1_{t−1}) is real GDP growth in percent quarter-on-quarter, not annualised. The sample is 1960Q1–2019Q4 (240 quarters). The standard error must stay valid when the errors are serially correlated (Newey–West HAC). The question is whether β is negative and significant at the 5% level.\n\n## Data and exclusions\n- `data/UNRATE.csv`: 945 monthly rows, 1948-01 to 2026-09. `data/GDPC1.csv`: 319 quarterly rows, 1947Q1 to 2026Q3. Both are the current FRED vintage and were used as given. Dates are unique, monotonic and regularly spaced.\n- Quarterly u_t is the mean of the 3 months in the quarter. A quarter counts only if all 3 months are present.\n- Data issue: UNRATE has an empty value for 2025-10. This is outside the window needed (1959Q4–2019Q4), so it has no effect. GDPC1 has no missing values.\n- The 1959Q4 levels are used only to form the 1960Q1 differences. No observation after 2019Q4 is used. All 240 quarters in the window have complete data, so none were excluded.\n\n## Method\n- OLS of Δu_t on a constant and g_t, using statsmodels.\n- Naïve SE: the conventional homoskedastic, independent-errors OLS standard error.\n- HAC SE: Newey–West with the Bartlett kernel. Bandwidth L = floor(4·(T/100)^{2/9}) = floor(4·2.4^{0.222}) = **4 quarters**. This is the standard Newey–West (1994) rule-of-thumb plug-in for the Bartlett kernel. Four quarters is also one year, which is a natural horizon for quarterly macro data. statsmodels' small-sample correction (factor T/(T−k)) is applied.\n- 95% CI: β̂ ± 1.96·se_hac, using the normal approximation, which is the standard asymptotic justification for HAC inference. Two-sided test of H0: β = 0 with the HAC SE.\n- The whole analysis is deterministic and uses no random numbers.

A 1 percentage point increase in quarterly real GDP growth goes with a 0.26 point fall in the unemployment rate that quarter.\n- **Intercept (α):** 0.184 percentage points.\n- **R²:** 0.41.\n- **Standard errors:** the conventional one is 0.020; the Newey–West one is 0.036, about 1.8 times larger.\n- **Bandwidth:** 4 quarters, from the standard Newey–West (1994) rule of thumb, floor(4·(T/100)^(2/9)).\n- **95% confidence interval:** [−0.326, −0.185].\n- **Test:** the t-statistic is −7.1, so `okun_negative_5pct` is true.\n- **Growth rate that holds unemployment steady:** about 0.72% per quarter (−α/β), close to the sample's mean growth of 0.75%.\n\n**Why the robust standard error matters:** the regression residuals are clearly serially correlated (first-lag autocorrelation 0.39, Durbin–Watson 1.22). I re-ran the robust standard error with 0 to 16 lags: it ranges from 0.029 to 0.037, so the conclusion holds for every lag length tried.\n\n**Data issue:** the unemployment series has one missing month (2025-10). It falls outside the estimation window, so it has no effect.\n\n**Limitations:**\n- The relation is contemporaneous only, with no lagged growth terms.\n- I did not test whether the coefficient changes over time.\n- The data are the current revised release, not what was known in real time.\n- The inference relies on large-sample (normal) approximations.\n\nFiles are in `out/`:\n- `results.json`\n- `report.md`\n- `analysis.py`\n- `claims.json`\n- `figure1.png`\n- `diagnostics.json` (extra: the lag-sensitivity and residual-autocorrelation checks)"}],"container":null,"stop_reason":"end_turn","stop_sequence":null,"stop_details":null,"usage":{"input_tokens":2,"cache_creation_input_tokens":2653,"cache_read_input_tokens":9742,"output_tokens":789,"output_tokens_details":{"thinking_tokens":47},"server_tool_use":{"web_search_requests":0,"web_fetch_requests":0},"service_tier":"standard","cache_creation":{"ephemeral_1h_input_tokens":0,"ephemeral_5m_input_tokens":2653},"inference_geo":"global","iterations":[],"speed":"standard","fallback_credit":null},"input_transformations":[],"diagnostics":null,"context_management":null},"apiBlockIndex":1,"requestId":"req_011CgXqbtFUT7vVPT8zhp1u9","requestRef":"91fd16c4-502b-4a13-bfac-875a6f898655","requestedModel":"claude-opus-5-5","type":"assistant","uuid":"d4a1a8a9-0ff8-4c54-881e-9fa4f94c97c5","timestamp":"2026-10-30T05:05:10.230Z","effort":"medium","perTurnEffort":"medium","userType":"external","entrypoint":"sdk-cli","cwd":"/Users/simon-pierreboucher/wp29/runs/RC0222","sessionId":"011646f1-2c53-49b0-afd4-76c8c2d7252e","version":"2.1.314","gitBranch":"HEAD"}
