Interpretingtheresult:

  • We have to perform a t-test to say something about the .

t-test:

To conclude that is not 1, the t-value in absolute value has to be larger than a critical value.

From this result we can conclude that is significantly different from 1.

High t-value gives very low p-value, which means

  • The model’s standard error is very low, and also from this we can say that the model have a big certain. This is thus also the reason for the big t-value in absolute terms.

The t-value can though indicate statistical significance either because the estimated is “large” or the standard error is “small”. Too much focus on statistical significance can thus lead to the false conclusion that a variable is important for explaining Y even though its estimated effect is modest.

  • this means that the variation in X explains approximately 90 % of the variation in Y. This is a very high number.

c)Is this model an adequate conditional model of given?

Even though, as we stated in b), the is large and the are significantly different from 1, the test fail. We have autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity and the model is not normally distributed. The assumptions we made in a) is not valid. We can’t perform a the t-test correctly. So we can’t say for sure that the is significant.

When we correct for autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity in the model, we get robust standard errors.

Robust standard errors

The result is quite similar as in b). We have same values on the , which is still significantly different from 1, the standard error is still very small and there is no heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation. But: it is still not normallydistributed

The importance of normal distribution when we have robust standard error is a matter of preferences to the person who is making the model.

Some would say that the modell is still not valid, and some would think that this is an ok model.

d)The criteria we use to evaluate this model:

  • R-squared
  • T-test/significance level
  • The test: AR, ARCH, normality test, hetero test,

If we have causality, which means that we don’t know if X is explained by Y or if Y is explained by X.

Have to run a t-test:

The coefficient is significant different from 1

The standard error is very small and the R-squared is very high, 0.91.

The tests still fail: the is autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity and not normally distributed.

f)Evaluation criteria:

Reasonable: the test still fail, the t-test haven’t changes, except the t-value of the constant is no longer significant.

R-squared adjusted is very high

is not significantly different from 1. Can not reject that this value I 1.

We see from the test that there is still autocorrelation. The other tests are ok. There is no longer heteroskedasticity, and the normal distribution is valid.

i)Strategy for evaluating the tree models against each other: model 2 explains more than model 1 because the R-squared is bigger.

“simple-to-general”: you go from a model with few variables to many variables

“general-to-simple”:the opposite.

From (6) to (8), simple to general.

From (8) to (6) general to simple.

  • The first data-set is the same as in 3a)
  • Sp8102:
  • R-squared are about 0,44, so the variables explains less here than in the previous data set.
  • The standard error is a bit bigger, more variation in the observations
  • the coefficient on X is not significantly different from 1.
  • The test show that there is less probability for heteroskedasticity, but there is still autocorrelation.
  • Sp8103:
  • R-squared is zero and the coefficient is almost zero.
  • The test are here positive though: no autocorrelation, no heteroskedastisity and there is normality.

Sp8101

  • The autocorrelation-coefficient is bigger than 1. This means that the model is explosive and therefore unstable.
  • The tests are ok. Which is logical because Rals-estimation take into account the autocorrelation.

Sp8102

  • The autocorrelation-coefficient is less than 1, which means that the model is stable. But since its value is 0,97, the speed of convergence is low.
  • The tests satisfy the classical assumptions

Sp8103:

  • The autocorrelation-coefficient is very low, 0,0469, which reflects a high speed of convergence. This means that the model is very stable.

Exercise 10)

a)Using the equations given in this exercise;

pt = aqt+ bst+ ut1

qt = cpt+ edt+ ut2

X1 = qt = quantum

X2 = pt = pris

X3 = st = supply

X4 = dt = demand

Equation 1 consists of the variable, st, which is not represented in the demand equation. On the other hand, we see that the demand function also consists of a variable, dt, that is not represented in the supply equation. This is the requirement of exact identification of both equations in this system.

  • Each equation in the system has an endogenous variable along with the other exogenous variables on the RHS. This violates the classical assumption about zero conditional mean in the disturbance term, since we condition on all the RHS variables . OLS on the system gives biased and inconsistent estimators.
  • OLS regression result show that the estimate of X2 is positive on the demand function. This contradict the economic theory about that an increase in price should dampen the demand. The other estimates correspond to economic theory.
  • 2SLS, ILS and IV gives the same result, when it is exact identification. This can be shown by theory.
