Assignment - Simultaneous Equation Models
Question 1). consider the following simultaneous equations model for joint determination of unemployment rate, price inflation and wage inflation:
Πt = β1 + β2ωit + β3adt + β4t + ∈1t
unt = α1 + α2Πt + α3prodt + ∈2t
ωit = γ1 + γ2unt + γ3Πt + ∈3t
where
unt = unemployment rate (%)
Πt = inflation rate (%); computed as 100*(ln CPIt - lnCPIt-1)
ωit = wage inflation (rate of γhange of wages) (%)¡ computed as 100 * (ln waget - ln waget-1)
pvodt = rate of change of aggregate demand (GDP growth %)
adt = rate of change of aggregate demand (GDP growth %)
t = time trend.
a). Study the identifiability of each equation and of the system.
b). What are the additional restrictions to make the system
i). triangular;
ii). fully reγursive.
Attached herewith please find a dataset for Simultaneous Determination of Priγe Inflation, Wage Inflation and Unemployment Rate: 1995 - 2016, in Stata format with file name (dsem.dta).
c) Estimate the model by 2SLS and 3SLS methods. comment on the results. Use a 5 perγent level of significance throughout.
(d) Test for the endogeneity of inflation rate in the unemployment rate equation.
Question 2). Consider the simultaneous equation model:
y1 = α1y2 + α2x1 + u1
and
y2 = α3y1 + α4x1 + α5x2 + u2
• Assume you want to estimate the equation for y1 using 2SJS. Econometrician A estimates the fist stage equation
y2 = y1x1 + y2x2 + u2
and Econometrician B estimates the relation
y2 = δ1x2 + u1
They both estimate the second stage equation
y1 = α1y^2 + α2x1 + u1
• Prove that the two econometrician get identical coefficients for α1 if x1 and x2 are orthogonal.
