Regression of Usa GDP On Inflation, Unemployment and Net Export
Regression of Usa GDP On Inflation, Unemployment and Net Export
GDP on inflation,
unemployment and
net export
we have taken four economic variables from the USA economy and in
this report, we will analyze whether there is a significant relationship
between USA GDP and inflation, unemployment rate, next export. In this
regression, 4 variables have been included (1 dependent and 3
independent)
• Dependent variable- US GDP in billion US dollars – GDP in eviews
• Independent variables:
‘’Inflation’’, expressed as a percentage growth rate in consumer price
index(CPI) – inflation in eviews
‘’Unemployment rate’’, expressed as a percentage of the total labor
force unemployed – unemp_rate in eviews
‘’Net export’’, expressed as a difference between export and import in
billion US dollars

The Cofficients of our model
••
(26.31) indicates that if the unemployment rate increases by 1
percentage (here this percentage is a measurement unit), the GDP will
decrease about 26.31% on average, while holding the other factors
fixed
• (-15.13) indicates that if net export increases by 1 billion US dollars,
the GDP will decrease about 15.13 on average, while holding the
other factors fixed.
• (-541.59) indicates that if inflation increases by 1 percentage point the
GDP will decrease by about 541.59 on average while holding the
other factors fixed.
• R-squared for this model is 0.808842. What this shows is that around
81% of sample variation in GDP has been explained by independent
variables. That is, inflation, unem_rate, net export, together explain
about 85% of variation in GDP for this sample.

Null hypothesis for
• H0: β1 =0,
• The null hypothesis implies that once “net_exp”,
“unemp_rate” have been controlled for, the partial effect
of “inflation’ on the expected value of GDP is zero.
