Do you think there is any problems with these estimated results? If so why?

Question 1 You have obtained quarterly data from the ABS for Tasmania from September 1984 to March 2008 for the following variables: EMP, the number of employed persons in thousands EMP. AWE, the average weekly earnings in $ per week, GSP, the Gross State Product GSP TIME, a time trend increasing by 1 per quarter. You have the following OLS regression results in Table 1 from EViews. Table 1 Dependent Variable: AWE Method: Least Squares Sample: 198403 200801 Included observations: 95 Variable Coefficient Std.

Carefully interpret the coefficients of LOG(GSP) and TIME in Table 1. [5 marks] b. Do you think there is any problems with these estimated results? If so why? [5 marks] c. The residuals from the estimation in Table 1 are saved as RESID and the following results in Table 2 obtained. Name and conduct the appropriate test and explain its importance? [5 marks]
