- Q. Table gives data on gold prices, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Index for the United States for the period 1974 –2006. The NYSE Index includes most of the stocks listed on the NYSE, some 1500-plus. a. Plot in the same scattergram gold prices, CPI, and the NYSE Index. b. An investment is supposed to be a hedge against inflation if its price and /or rate of return at least keeps pace with inflation. To test this hypothesis, suppose you decide to fit the following model, assuming the scatterplot in (a) suggests that this is appropriate: Gold pricet = β1 + β2 CPIt + ut NYSE indext = β1 + β2 CPIt + ut Note that if beta2 = 1 the response exactly grows with CPI Thank you!arrow_forward.
