As students of econometrics we are required to use theory and data from economics
along with statistics tool and techniques to build a model that express the relationship
between various economic variables . in this project we apply these techniques we
have learned during this semester to build a model that express the relationship
between Gross domestic product (GDP) of Bahrain and the factors that affect it which
we can use to estimate Bahrains future Gross domestic product (GDP) . the model
then goes through a set of econometrics tests in order to evaluate the goodness of this
model in expressing the relationship between these factors and GDP.
To estimate this model we will use four variables :
1-
AUTOCORRELATION.
1. THE DATA:
We collected a 20 years data about Bahrain GDP, oil prices, Real interest Rate
and Money supply (M2).

From the result above we obtained the following estimate of the model :
1. Intercept : 980.5217 is the average value of GDP when oil prices, I (%)
and M2 equal to zero.
2. Slopes:
A. Oil prices coefficient : is the partial rate of change of average GDP,
when Oil prices increases by 1 BD GDP will decrease by -22.6263
holding other factors ( I%, M2 ) constant.
B. I(%) coefficient : is the partial rate of change of average GDP ,when
I(%) increases by one unit GDP will decrease by -2.09049 holding
other factors(oil prices, M2) constant.
C. M2 coefficient: is the partial rate of change of average GDP, when
M2 increases by one unit GDP will increase by 0.972495 holding
other factors (oil prices , I(%)) constant.
3.
GDP is explained by the variation in oil prices, I(%) and money supply.
4.
HYPOTHESIS TESTING:
the null hypothesis that b2=0 which means that oil prices has no
effect on GDP(insignificant ).
B- I(%) coefficient:
C- M2 coefficient :

This model is used to measure elasticity. in order to apply this model we took
the (ln) of all dependent and independent variables and regress them.

It is the sum of all slopes of ln model except the intercept
Which equals to 0.651116 and its less than one which it means
that it is a decreasing return to scale , if input (ln oil prices, ln I
(%), ln M2 ) increases by 1% output (ln GDP) by less than 1%.

1/oil prices coefficient :is the partial rate of change of GDP, when 1/
oil prices increases by one percentage point GDP will decrease by
(holding other factors constant).
1/M2: its the partial rate of change of GDP , when the inverse of M2
increases by one percentage point GDP will decrease by 2209273
holding other factors constant. Its analogous to the positive slope in
the linear model

3.1 MULTICOLLINEARITY:
We tested the estimated model for MULTICOLLINEARITY through these following
methods:
A- High R2 but few significant t ratios:
As we saw earlier in the model estimation section that the R2 of this model is quit
high, about 96.9764% which means that a high percentage of the variation in
GDP is explained by the variation in the independent variable of this model
even though only one slope coefficient (M2) is significant(
. Therefore
to conduct this test we have to calculate the coefficient correlation between each
pair of independent variable .

problem for these variables.
3.2 HETEROSCEDASTICITY:
We tested the estimated model for HETEROSCEDASTICITY using these following
techniques:
A- Graphical examination of Residuals :
After plotting the residuals against
The graph raises the possibility the model suffers from the problem of
HETEROSCEDASTICITY.
B- Park test:
To do this test we need to regress

Decision:
Since
Conclusion:
1- In the multiple regression model we concluded that the entire model is
significant .however after testing the partial individual hypothesis we found out
that two slop coefficient are statistically insignificant, which were oil prices
coefficient and I(%) coefficient.
2- In the double log model we concluded that only one slope coefficient is
statistically significant which M2.
3- In the semi log model we concluded that on average GDP of Bahrain had been
increasing at the instantaneous rate of growth of 4.75% and at the compound
rate of growth of 4.87% per year.
4- In the linear trend model we found out that there is an upward trend in GDP of
Bahrain .
5- In the inverse model we compared its
that since MLRs
6- After testing the model for Multicollinearity , in the first test we found out that a
serious collinearity problems exists between oil prices and M2 so we concluded that its
better to eliminate oil prices from the model. However after further testing we found out
that Multicollinearity is not considered a problem for all explanatory variables.
7- After conducting 4 different test of Heteroscedasticity on the model we found out that no
Heteroscedasticity exists in the mode .
8- Finally we tested the model for autocorrelation using two , in graphical test we saw that
there is a positive autocorrelation , however after further testing we couldnt decide
whether there is an autocorrelation or not.
