Most financial and economic times series are not stationary. Even when you adjust them for seasonal variations, they will exhibit trends, cycles, random walk and other non-stationary behavior. We can use a variety of techniques to make a non-stationary series stationary depending on the kind of non-stationary behavior present in the series. The two techniques we will learn are called differencing and logarithmic transformations.
