9. Spurious Regression Using X 1t = μ + β 2 X 2t + u t , Then u t = X 1t – β 2 X 2t – μ If X 1t and X 2t are non-stationary a spurious regression may be obtained
10. Cointegration and Non-Stationary Variables In the model: X 1t = μ + β 2 X 2t + u t , Or u t = X 1t – β 2 X 2t – μ If u t is stationary about a mean of zero then cointegration exists.

Editor's Notes
The mean of a time series is suppose to give a measurement of a typical value (average) of the data over the time horizon. In a stationary time series the mean is a value around which the time series fluctuates over and above as it continuously approaches this value. In fact one would expect that the value of this time series would remain around this typical value. In a non stationary time series there is no constant mean. The data does not revolve around a particular value and although the mean can be calculated it does no give an idea of the typical value which the time series is approaching.
This is just one possibility as shown in the figure.
Since in the model it is implied that u t is a linear combination of two non-stationary time series then this term would also be non-stationary
The variables might be related as suggested by the underlying theory to be investigate but since the data is non-stationary a spurious regression might be obtained.
If cointegration is established then this implies a long run equilibrium (non spurious) relationship exist among the set of variables as expressed by the OLS equation.
