The following data give the yearly inflation rate and money supply growth rate (both measured in percentage) for 51 countries. A simple regression of Infla- tion on Growth yields the following information from RegressIt output: (a) What is the linear relationship implied by these data? (b) For a country with an 6% money supply growth, what would be the expected inflation? (This means Growth= 6 as it is measured in percentage.) (c) A simplistic monetarist claims that a 1% increase in the money supply growth rate would result in a corresponding 1% increase in inflation. In other words, for the relationship of Inflation = β0 + β1Growth, the null hypothesis is β1 = 1. Do the regression results support this null hypothesis?
