We learned that wheat prices explain wheat acreage very poorly because the R-squared values are particularly low. Theoretically, our model might have done better if we had ensured that both time series (sown area as the dependent variable and wheat price as the independent variable) were stationary before running the model, thus eliminating the possibility of "spurious" results. Again model wheat sown area as a function of wheat price, but this time make sure the variables are stationary before running the model. Report your results fully; include a discussion of the R-squared of your model and the statistical significance of the dependent variable.

Question

We learned that wheat prices explain wheat acreage very poorly because the R-squared values are particularly low. Theoretically, our model might have done better if we had ensured that both time series (sown area as the dependent variable and wheat price as the independent variable) were stationary before running the model, thus eliminating the possibility of "spurious" results. Again model wheat sown area as a function of wheat price, but this time make sure the variables are stationary before running the model.

Report your results fully; include a discussion of the R-squared of your model and the statistical significance of the dependent variable.
