Part A: Visualization 1. Plot the series using a line chart. Briefly describe what you see: Is it a positive or negative trend? Is the trend increasing? What kind of short term fluctuations do you observe? 2. Answer the previous question using the log-scale. Can you tell if the growth rate is increasing or decreasing on average over the period? 3. To better see how the growth rate evolves through time, plot the annualized growth rate of consumption expenditure. Describe what you see. Is it constant on average? Part A already complete here is the answers and charts from that. I just need part B. Part A: Visualization Line chart 12100 10100 8100 ) 6100 4100 2100 100 1. This is a positive trend in expenditure since 1950. The trend is increasing. In the 1950s and 60s the growth seemed to have been rather slow, picking up steam properly towards the late 60s and early 70s. Therefore, an exponential, increasing trend in the long run, with seasonal fluctuations in the short run (oscillations along the trend).Line chart - log scale 30000 3000 Wwwwwwww 300 2010 2013 2007 2. The log-scale graph looks like a line, so the trend is mostly constant. Annualized growth rate () -10 - 3. 1951 1358 1965 1972 1979 1985 1939 2000 2007 2014 The growth rate oscillates around an average value of 5%. This oscillation was stronger in the 1950's and is very small in the 21st century. Here is Part B questions which I need. It can be done in excel by copying and pasting the data provided. Part B: Time Series Decomposition 1. Fit a linear and quadratic trends to your series. Then, create a line chart with your original series and the two trends. Which trend seems to best fit the series? Explain. 2. Fit a linear and quadratic trends to the log of your series. Then, create a line chart with the log of your series and the two trends. Which trend seems to best fit the series? Do you see a difference between the best trend in this question and in the previous one? Explain.Part B: Time Series Decomposition 1. Overall Plotted Series 10000 8000 6000 Expenditure 4000 2000 1940 1960 1980 2000 2020 Year\fQuadratic Trend 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 1940 1960 1980 2000 2020 Year . Expenditure Fitted values Based on the visuals the quadratic trend seems to fit the data more appropriately. 2.

When log transformation is considered, the data gets normalized. This may be the reason that with log value, the quadratic trend got eliminated and it seems linear trends fit the data more precisely.Part B: Time Series Decomposition 1. Fit a linear and quadratic trends to your series. Then, create a line chart with your original series and the two trends. Which trend seems to best fit the series? Explain. 2. Fit a linear and quadratic trends to the log of your series. Then, create a line chart with the log of your series and the two trends. Which trend seems to best fit the series? Do you see a difference between the best trend in this question and in the previous one? Explain. Answer the following questions using the log of your series and the trends computed in question 2. 3. Plot the detrended series using the trend that best fit the series. Briefly describe what you see: Do you better detect short term fluctuations? 4. Using a moving average of order 5, compute the cyclical component of your series. Then, plot the cycle and briefly describe what you see: interpret the values of some peaks and troughs. 5. Plot the low frequency of your series and briefly describe what you see. 6. Compute the seasonal component and represent it on a bar chart (only the 4 quarters). Interpret the four seasonal values. Part C: Comovement For this part, select any other series in the file assignmentl.zip and answer the following questions: . Create a scatter plot of your series expressed in logs against the selected series also expressed in logs. . Using the log of the selected series, compute its cyclical component. Then create a scatter plot of this cycle with the cycle of your series computed in Part B. Econ 102 Assignment 1 Page 1 of 2 . Looking at the two scatter plots, what can you say about the type of comovement between the two series
