The document provides comments on an empirical question for a graduate macroeconomics course. It contains the following key points:
1) Students do not need to include data sheets in their reporting style.
2) The data provided is seasonally adjusted, so seasonal effects are minimal but may still have some impact.
3) The grading policy is 10 points for a full score, 9.5 points if the graph or explanation is incomplete, and 9 points if something is missing.

Comments on Empirical question 3.4 of Lecture note 5 Reporting style You do not need to include data sheet. Seasonality Some of you point out seasonality is the source of the fluctuation. This data is seasonally adjusted meaning the eects of seasonality is minimal. However, it may have some eects. Grading policy Full score: 10 points. 9.5 points if graph is incomplete and explanation is incomplete. Incomplete graph includes dot plots rather than line plots for time series. 9 points if something is missing.
