1. Use RTDE and QTDE to obtain a time series of a price index, P, for UK domestic expenditure. 2 marks

1963 to 1994 on UK real domestic expenditure(RTDE), nominal domestic expenditure(QTDE), a nominal interest rate (INT; note this is 100+the interest rate expressed as a percentage) and a measure of money holdings (M4)

2. Use the data on P to calculate RM4, the real money supply. 2 marks RM4 = (M4) P

The real money supply is equal to money holding M4 multiplied by the price index P.

3. Use the series P to calculate PI, the rate of inflation for UK 1964-1993. Why can’t this series begin in 1963?

(Hint: the rate of inflation is the proportionate or percentage rate of increase of prices:

See last year’s exercises in CIT.) 2 marks

The rate of inflation will be given by the percentage increase in price, we use the previous year as the base year and because the data for 1962 does not exist we can’t calculate the inflation rate of the year 1963.

6. Use Excel’s regression command to regress rm4 on a constant and rintl for the period 1964 to 1994. All subsequent regressions should be performed on this sample.

I.e. the Population model RM4t=

To do this use the regression facility in Data Analysis 4 marks

rm4 = K +M rint where K is a constant.

M= -0.32849

K= 6.137936

105 / 180

Empirical Methods of Economics

Therefore rm4 = 6.137936 – 0.32849 rint

7. Explain the economic interpretation of the estimated coefficient of rint.

Comment on the statistical significance of the coefficients. 4 marks

The function rm4 = 6.137936 – 0.32849rint means that the real money supply is a function of the existing interest rates in an economy, the autonomous money supply is 6.137936 billion pounds. An increase in interest rate by one unit will reduce the real money supply by 0.32849 billion pounds.

8. Now extend your model to include real domestic total expenditure.

Write the population model and the estimated model and explain the economic interpretation of the estimated coefficients.

Use a t-test to test the hypothesis that real interest rates do not influence the demand for money. 8 marks

Interpretation:

141 / 180

Empirical Methods of Economics

The model indicates that the autonomous real money supply is 1.9883166 billion pounds, it further indicates that when the rate of interest is increased by one unit there is an increase in the money supply amounting to 0.3950299 billion pounds and also that if the real domestic expenditure increases by one unit the real supply for money increases by 1.9883166 billion pounds.

9. Extend the model in part 6 again to include pi, the log of the rate of inflation. Write the Population model you are now considering.

Explain the economic interpretation of the coefficient of pi.

Be careful to explain the role of the other right hand variables in its interpretation. 8 marks

Interpretation:

our model portrays that the autonomous money supply is -0.211921 billion pounds, an increase in the interest rate by one unit will increase the supply of money by 16.847785 billion pounds, while an increase in the natural of inflation by one unit decreases the money supply by 15.51382 billion pounds.

10. Perform an F test to test the joint hypothesis that the coefficients of both pi and rint are zero and comment on the outcome. 8 marks
