A researcher has a sample of 6 annual observations {94, 104, 102, 99, 111 and 107} for the CPI in country Z for the period 2015 to 2020, and wants to forecast CPI for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. The researcher uses 3 different forecasting models: A, B and C. Model A is an AR(1) model with no drift and with an estimated autoregressive coefficient = 0.7. Model B is a MA(1) model with no constant and with an estimated MA coefficient = -0.4 (note the minus !). Model C is a random walk model with no drift. The error terms over the 2015-2020 period were estimated to have the values: {3, -1, 2, 4, -3, 1}. a. Compute the 2021, 2022 and 2023 forecasted values for the consumer price index based on the three models. Show the formulas and the details of your calculations, and explain all the related symbols. b. Suppose that the actual values of the CPI over the 2021, 2022 and 2023 were {108, 114, 105}. Calculate the Root mean square error of the three model forecasts over the 2021-2023…

Disposable income, the amount left after taxes have been paid, is one measure of the health of the economy. Using U.S. Energy Information Administration data for selected years from 2015 and projected to 2040, the U.S. real disposable income per capita (in dollars) can be approximated by the equation I = 707.6t + 39,090 where t is the number of years after 2015. (a) What t-value corresponds to 2021? t = (b) Find the predicted U.S. per capita real disposable income (to the nearest $10) in 2021. $ (c) In what year is the U.S. per capita real disposable income expected to exceed $55,000? Extreme Protection, Inc. manufactures helmets for skiing and snowboarding. The fixed costs for one model of helmet are $6600 per month. Materials and labor for each helmet of this model are $55, and the company sells this helmet to dealers for $85 each. (Let x represent the number of helmets sold. Let C, R, and P be measured in dollars.) (a) For this helmet, write the function for monthly total costs…
Imagine you are an economist working for the Government of Econville. You are tasked with developing a model to predict the GDP of the country based on various factors such as interest rates, inflation, unemployment rate, and population growth. You collect quarterly data for the past 20 years and start building your model. After running your initial regression, you notice some peculiar patterns in the residuals: (1) residuals do not have identical variances across different levels of the independent variables; (2) two or more independent variables in a regression model are highly correlated with each other; (3) the correlation of a variable with its own past values. You suspect that your model might be suffering from 3 potential issues in the regression analysis that can affect reliability and validity. List 2 factors in your model that might be causing the Multicollinearity and give a reason
Suppose the relationship between the government's tax revenue (T) and national income (Y) is represented by the equation T=10+0.25Y. Plot this relationship on a scale diagram, with Y on the horizontal axis and T on the vertical axis. Interpret the equation.

The world's population living in extreme poverty has declined linearly between the years 2005 and 2011. In 2005, the percentage of the world's population living in extreme poverty was 20.70% and in 2011, the percentage of the world's population living in extreme poverty was 13.70%. Determine a linear equation that models the world's population in extreme poverty, in percentage, as a function of years since 2005. What is the slope of this function, and what does it tell you in practical terms? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (0.01). Om = -7.00. The world's population in extreme poverty decreased by 7 percent per year between the years 2005 and 2011. Om = 7.00. The world's population in extreme poverty increased by 7 percent per year between the years 2005 and 2011. Om = 1.17.

2. Question 2: Suppose that you estimate a model of the aggregate annual retail sales of new cars that specifies that sales of new cars are a function of real disposable income, the average retail price of a car adjusted by the consumer price index, and the number of sports utility vehicles sold (you decide to add this independent variable to take account of the fact that some potential new car buyers purchase sports utility vehicles instead). You use the data (annual from 2000 to 2014) and obtain the following estimated regression equation: CARS, = 1.32 + 4.91Y D; + 0.0012 PRICE, - 7.14 SUV (2.39) (0.00045) (71.40) 1 where CARS = new car sales (in hundreds of thousands of units) in year t, YD; = real disposable income (in hundreds of billions of dollars), PRICE = the average real price of a new car in yeart (in dollars), SUV = the number of sports utility vehicles sold in year t (in millions). You expect the variable YD to have a positive coefficient and the variables PRICE and SUV to…
