Question
10.14 Total economic output in three years. The n - vector xt denotes the economic output of a country in n different sectors, in yeart. An economist models the economic output using a linear dynamical system model xt+1 = Axt, where A is an n \times n matrix. Assuming her model is correct, find an expression for the total economic output in yeart + 3, in terms of xt and A. (The total economic output is the sum of the economic output in the n sectors.)

Rubax, a U.S. manufacturer of athletic shoes, estimates the following linear trend model for shoe sales: Qt = a+bt+c1D1+c2D2+c3D3Where, Qt = sales of athletic shoes in the t-th quartert = 1, 2, . . . . , 28 [2011(I), 2011(II), . . . . , 2017(IV)]D1 = 1 if t is quarter I (winter); 0 otherwiseD2 = 1 if t is quarter II (spring); 0 otherwiseD3 = 1 if t is quarter III (summer); 0 otherwiseThe regression analysis produces the following results: Is there sufficient statistical evidence of an upward trend in shoe sales? explain Do these data indicate a statistically significant seasonal pattern of sales for Rubax shoes? If so, what is the seasonal pattern exhibited by the data? Using the estimated forecast equation, forecast sales of Rubax shoes for 2018(III) and 2019(II).arrow_forwardSuppose that the world's current oil reserves is R = 2060 billion barrels.
