The file JTRAIN2.RAW contains data on a job training experiment for a group of men. Men could enter the program starting in January 1976 through about mid-1977. The program ended in December 1977. The idea is to test whether participation in the job training program had an effect on unemployment
Use the data in APPLE.RAW for this exercise. These are telephone survey data attempting to elicit the demand for a (fictional) "ecologically friendly" apple. Each family was (randomly) presented with a set of prices for regular apples and the eco-labeled apples. They were asked how many pounds of
An interesting economic model that leads to an econometric model with a lagged dependent variable relates yt to the expected value of xt, say, x*i, where the expectation is based on all observed information at time t - 1:A natural assumption on {ut} is that E(ut|It-1) = 0, where It-1, denotes all
Suppose that {yt} and {zt} are 1(1) series, but yt - βzt is 1(0) for some β ≠ 0. Show that for any δ ≠ β, yt - δzt must be 1(1).
Consider the error correction model in equation (18.37). Show that if you add another lag of the error correction term, yt-2 - βxt- 2, the equation suffers from perfect collinearity.
Suppose the process [(xt, yt): t = 0, 1, 2, ...} satisfies the equationsyt = βxt + utandΔxt = γΔxt-1, + vt,where E(ut | It-1) = E(vt | It-1) = 0, It-1, contains information on x and y dated at time t - 1 and earlier, β ≠ 0, and |γ| < 1 [so that xt, and therefore yt, is I(1)]. Show that
Using the monthly data in VOLAT.RAW, the following model was estimated:where pcip is the percentage change in monthly industrial production, at an annualized rate, and pcsp is the percentage change in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, also at an annualized rate.(i) If the past three months of
Let gMt be the annual growth in the money supply and let unem, be the unemployment rate. Assuming that unem, follows a stable AR(1) process, explain in detail how you would test whether gM Granger causes unem.
Suppose that yt follows the modelyt = α + δ1 zt-1 + utu, = put-1 + etE(et | It-1) = 0,where It-1 contains y and z dated at t - 1 and earlier.(i) Show that E(yt+1| It) = (1 - p) α + pyt + δt Zt - p δl Zt-1(ii) Suppose that you use n observations to estimate α, δ1, and p. Write the equation
Let {yt} be an 1(1) sequence. Suppose that n is the one-step-ahead forecast of Δyn+1 and let fn = n + yn be the one-step-ahead forecast of yn+1. Explain why the forecast errors for forecasting Δyn+1 and yn+1 are identical.
Use the data in WAGEPRC.RAW for this exercise. Problem 11.5 gave estimates of a finite distributed lag model of gprice on gwage, where 12 lags of gwage are used.(i) Estimate a simple geometric DL model of gprice on gwage. In particular, estimate equation (18.11) by OLS. What are the estimated
Use the data in INTQRT.RAW for this exercise.(i) Using the data from all but the last four years (16 quarters), estimate an AR(1) model for Δr6t. (We use the difference because it appears that r6t has a unit root.) Find the RMSE of the one-step-ahead forecasts for Δr6, using the last 16
Use the data in VOLAT.RAW for this exercise.(i) Confirm that Isp500 = log(sp500) and lip = log(ip) appear to contain unit roots. Use Dickey-Fuller tests with four lagged changes and do the tests with and without a linear time trend.(ii) Run a simple regression of lsp500 on lip. Comment on the sizes
