Consider the following model: R t = β 0 + β 1 M t + β 2

Question:

Consider the following model:

Rt = β0 + β1Mt + β2Yt + u1t

Yt = α0 + α1Rt + u2t

where Mt (money supply) is exogenous, Rt is the interest rate, and Yt is GDP.

a. How would you justify the model?

b. Are the equations identified?

c. Using the data given in the following table, estimate the parameters of the identified equations. Justify the method(s) you use.

GDP (Y1) ТВ6 (Xз) Observation M2 (Y2) GPDI (X1) FEDEXP (X2) 3,771.9 3,898.6 4,105.0 4,341.5 4,319.6 4,311.2 4,540.9 4
