a. According to Fisher Equation “a rise in inflation also rises the nominal interest rate by the same amount”. Construct a regression model by determining dependent and independent variables according to this theory. b.Obtain residuals of the regression. Calculate variance of the residuals and the standard errors of the parameters (note: use the table above for calculations, just write down the final results here). c. Test significance of the slope parameter (the parameter of the independent variable) at 5% significance level. Is it in line with the proposition?
