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 exam ple shows that the variance of an integrated process-although unbounded-nee d not diverge to infinity. Sufficient conditions for the variance of an int egrated process to diverge to infinity are provided.
