 Subjective Part

Q.2: (a) Define econometrics and discuss its scope in detail.

(b)        Explain methodology of econometric research by discussing the stages of specification, estimation, evaluation and forecasting.

Q.3:     By using the following data, estimate appropriate model and test individual significance of parameters at 5% level of significance. Do the data support the existence of Phillips-Curve relationship (negative relationship between % change in wage rate and unemployment rate)

% Change in wage rate 5.0 3.2 2.7 2.1 4.1 2.7 2.9 4.6 3.5 4.4 4.0 7.7 5.7 9.5
Unemployment % 1.6 2.2 2.3 1.7 1.6 2.1 2.6 1.7 1.5 1.6 2.5 2.5 2.5 2.7

Q.4: (a) What are the major causes of autocorrelation in a time series data.

b. Following residuals are estimated for a certain relationship. Apply an appropriate test to detect autocorrelation at 1% level of significance.
