Assignment Two

The document presents an assignment on applied econometrics focusing on a linear regression model of General Electric's asset price against the S&P 500 index. It includes statistical outputs from various tests, such as the Breusch-Godfrey test for autocorrelation, and discusses the application of the Cochrane-Orcutt transformation to address autocorrelation issues. The results indicate a significant relationship between the variables and assess the effectiveness of the transformation in correcting for autocorrelation.

1b) Plot the residuals against time. Do you suspect the presence of residual autocorrelation?
Provide a brief discussion.
 Auto correlation diagnostic in E view
 Graphical method
1c).Test for the presence of serial correlation using the Breusch-Godfrey Serial Correlation
LM Test with two lags (the default in EViews). Also plot the partial autocorrelation function
(PACF) of the OLS residuals and determine the order of autocorrelation.
