Abstract

For a process with stationary first differences a necessary and sufficient condition for the variance of the process to be unbounded is given. An example shows that the variance of an integrated process—although unbounded—need not diverge to infinity. Sufficient conditions for the variance of an integrated process to diverge to infinity are provided.
