Durbin-Watson value, you usually face a regression where unit roots should b e taken into account. I usually consider any rep orted time series regression with R 2 co ecientsabove (say) .95 with extreme suspicion. Of course, if you test and nd unit roots, then you can get standard consistent estimators by running the regression yt = 0 + 1 x t + e t ; (2) since you now regress a stationary variable on a stationary variable, and the classical statistical theory applies.
