Bond Yield

Description

Bond Yield Data.

Usage

data(bondyield)

Format

A multivariate quarterly time series from 1961(1) to 1975(4) with variables

RAARUS

difference of interest rate on government and corporate bonds,

MOOD

measure of consumer sentiment,

EPI

index of employment pressure,

EXP

interest rate expectations,

Y

artifical time series based on RAARUS,

K

artifical time series based on RAARUS.

The data was originally studied by Cook and Hendershott (1978) and Yawitz and Marshall (1981), the data set is given in Krämer and Sonnberger (1986). Below we replicate a few examples given in their book. Some of these results differ more or less seriously and are sometimes parameterized differently.

Examples

data(bondyield)

## page 134, fit Cook-Hendershott OLS model and Yawitz-Marshall OLS model
## third and last line in Table 6.5

modelCH <- RAARUS ~ MOOD + EPI + EXP + RUS
lm(modelCH, data=bondyield)
dwtest(modelCH, data=bondyield)
## wrong sign of RUS coefficient

modelYM <- RAARUS ~ MOOD + Y + K
lm(modelYM, data=bondyield)
dwtest(modelYM, data=bondyield)
## coefficient of Y and K differ by factor 100
