Following guidelines to be adopted for the first assignment on Classical Liner Regression Model
(CLRM):
PART 1: Estimating CLRM
1) Construct an econometric model i.e., classical liner regression model (one dependent
variable and at least 3 independent variables). The relationship among the variables
must be supported by the theory. Any topic can be selected from the areas of economics,
finance and business.
Example: Yt = B0 + B1X1+ B2X2 + B3X3 + Et
2) Estimate the equation (Using OLS Method and Eviews Software)
3) Evaluate the model (R2 and F statistics)
PART 2: Hypothesis Testing
1) Hypothesis testing (individual coefficient test using P values or t-statistics)
2) Testing Joint significance based on F statistics
3) Restricted Test using F-statistics (using Wald Test in Eviews)
Part: 3 Diagnostic Testing
1) Detections and remedies of the following violation of the assumptions under Classical
Regression Model:
a) Heteroscedasticity and its remedies. Heteroscedasticity Test.
b) Testing for Autocorrelation and its remedies. Durbin-Watson Test & Breusch –
Godfrey LM Test
c) Testing for non-normality and its remedies. Normality Test using Jarque- Berastatistic
d) Testing for Multicolinearity and its remedies. Using Correlation Matrix and VIF
(Variance Inflation Factors)
e) Testing for Misspecification and its remedies: Ramsey RESET
f) Chow test or a parameter stability test and its remedies.
Part 4: Inference/Forecasting
1) Interpret the result.
Note:
i) You can obtain data from World Bank database to run the Classical Liner Regression Model
(CLRM). ( https://databank.worldbank.org/source/world-development-indicators# )
ii) Attached are the two sample paper which could be supportive to follow the above guidelines
(part 1-part 4)
iii) Each part carries some weightages, so exclusion any of the above (part 1-part 4) will cause
deduction of the point respectively.
Submission: 5th February, 2023 (By 12pm)
**Late submission for this take-home midterm exam paper will not be accepted for
any reason. I would suggest you to submit your exam paper as early as could possible
to confirm my acknowledgement.
