a. Based on the SAS output, is there evidence of a significant ARCH effect? Write down the relevant p-value and answer this question using the p-value method.

b. Is there evidence of a significant leverage effect for the Chinese stock market return data? Write down the relevant p-value and answer this question using the p-value method. If significant, then also discuss the coefficient estimate on the leverage effect variable.

c. Is the TGARCH model stationary? In order to answer this question, a relevant hypothesis test was conducted. The resulting SAS output with the test statistic and p-value are given below. Based on this output, do you conclude that the model is stationary or not? Explain clearly.
