Question 2: What do we mean by a linearregression model?
Question 3: The relationship between nominal exchange rate and relative prices.From the annual observations from 1980 to 1994, the following regression results were obtained, where Y=exchange rate of the German mark to the U.S. dollar (GM/$) and X=ratio of the U.S. consumer price index to the German consumer price index; that is, Xrepresents the relative prices in the two countries:
ˆYt =6.682-4.318Xt
r2=0.528
se=(1.22)(1.333)
a. Interpret this regression. How would you interpret r2?
