Periodograms are often used to characterize time series. They decompose the variation in the data into periodic components and their statistical properties for stationary series are well understood. The periodogram can be computed for any sequence of numbers and we are interested in studying its statistical properties when the underlying data have a time series structure with a unit root. Knowing these properties gives us the ability to look at nonstationarity on a frequency by frequency basis.
