Question: Consider the following EVIEWS output for monthly data from 1990 to 2008 on US petrol consumption, prices, income etc. The variables are defined as LPETCONS_G
Consider the following EVIEWS output for monthly data from 1990 to 2008 on US petrol consumption, prices, income etc.
The variables are defined as
LPETCONS_G = Natural Log Petrol Consumption per head (Gallons)
LRPETPRICE = Natural Log Real Average Monthly Petrol Price Per Gallon
LRINCOME = Natural Log Real Monthly US Income per head
D_SPRING - Dummy= 1 when month = March, April, May , (0 otherwise)
D_SUMMER - Dummy= 1 when month = June, July, August, (0 otherwise)
D_AUTUMN - Dummy= 1 when month = September, October, November, (0 otherwise)
- Carefully interpret and discuss the Eviews regression output and regression model of the petrol consumption?
- You should also state your opinion as an analyst of the company producing or selling petrol
