 To satisfy the class empirical
    project, pick one of the topics
    below (taken from the empirical exercises of Hayashi and the chapters in
    Berndt). You will need to use a combination of Eviews and Matlab to do the
    exercises. Do a formal write-up of the results and provide supporting
    computer output. The project is due on the last day
    of class.
