The methods of Cochrane and Orcutt orr Hildreth and Lu to correct linear regressions for first-order autoregression in the disturbances, as usually implemented, underestimate the standard errors of the regression coefficients whenever a lagged dependent variable is included. A convenient transformation is derived from the information matrix to remove this bias. The asymptotic standard error of the estimated serial coefficient is a useful coproduct of the analysis.
