We derive the exact discrete model and the Gaussian likelihood function of a first-order system of linear stochastic differential equations driven by an observable vector of stochastic trends and a vector of stationary innovations.

This article deals with the derivation of the exact discrete model that corresponds to a closed linear first-order continuous-time system with mixed stock and flow data. This exact discrete model is (under appropriate additional conditions) a stationary autoregressive moving average time series model and may allow one to obtain asymptotically efficient estimators of the parameters describing the continuous-time system.

This paper develops an algorithm for the exact Gaussian estimation of a mixed-order continuous-time dynamic model, with unobservable stochastic trends, from a sample of mixed stock and flow data. Its application yields exact maximum likelihood estimates when the innovations are Brownian motion and either the model is closed or the exogenous variables are polynomials in time of degree not exceeding two, and it can be expected to yield very good estimates under much more general circumstances. The paper includes detailed formulae for the implementation of the algorithm, when the model comprises a mixture of first- and second-order differential equations and both the endogenous and exogenous variables are a mixture of stocks and flows.

This paper is concerned with deriving formulae for higher order derivatives of exogenous variables for use in estimating the parameters of an open secondorder continuous time model with mixed stock and flow data and first and second order derivatives of exogenous variables which are not observable. This should provide the basis for the future estimation of continuous time models in a range of applied areas using the new Gaussian estimation computer program developed by Nowman [4].

The exact discrete model satisfied by equispaced data generated by a linear stochastic differential equations system is derived by a method that does not imply restrictions on observed discrete data per se. The method involves integrating the solution of the continuous time model in state space form and a nonstandard change in the order of three types of integration, facilitating the representation of the exact discrete model as an asymptotically time-invariant vector autoregressive moving average model. The method applying to the state space form is general and is illustrated using the prototypical higher order model for mixed stock and flow data discussed by Bergstrom (1986, Econometric Theory 2, 350–373).
