In this letter we focus on the econometrics of the geometric distributed lag model, after application of the so-called Koyck transformation. The Koyck transformation entails a parameter restriction, which should not be overlooked for reasons of estimation efficiency. Furthermore, the t statistic for the parameter for direct effects has a non-standard distribution. We provide solutions to these two issues.
