Question: 1 1 . Consider the following bivariate VAR model: y 1 t = 0 . 3 y 1 , t 1 + 0 . 8

11. Consider the following bivariate VAR model: y1t =0.3y1,t1+0.8y2,t1+ a1t , y2t =0.9y1,t1+0.4y2,t1+ a2t , with E(a1ta1 )=1 if t = and 0 otherwise, E(a2ta2 )=2 if t = and 0 otherwise, and E(a1ta2 )=0 for all t and .(a). Is this system stationary? (b). Calculate the two-step ahead forecast variance for variable y1,t+2, that is E[y1,t+2 E(y1,t+2|Yt , Yt1,)]2, where Yt =(y1t , y2t).
