Regfession equation: y=1.02x+0.0367
Assumptions: Classic Normal Linear Regression Model
Null hypothesis: The population slope coefficient is zero
Alternate hypothesis: The population slope coefficient is not zero
Test statistic: 5.611895
P value: 6.74E-06
Interpretation: The t-value is statistically significant. There is overwhelming statistical evidence that a relationship exist(positive or negative) between inflation and the ensuing one year term deposit rate.
Coefficient of det: 54.778%
Structural change in the model
Assumptions: Classic Normal Linear Regression Model.
Null hypothesis: The population “Dummy x Inflation” coefficient is zero.
Alternate hypothesis: The population “Dummy x Inflation” coefficient is not zero.
Test statistic: -1.01758
P value: 0.319027
Interpretation: The coefficient is statistically insignificant. This inability to reject the null hypothesis renders us unable to conclude that there has been a structural change in the slope coefficient since the inflation target began in 1993. This seems strange since one would think that the pro-cyclical movement of the cash rate would force interest rates to be even closer related to inflation. In fact, the relationship loosened. The adjusted coefficient of determination was 46.9% before the inflation target and -0.85% (0) after.
