* Bracketed terms are Newey-West standard errors based on a first-order process<br />

for the residuals.<br />

** The following four statistics are the probability values for the Box-Ljung Qtest<br />

(Q(15)) for autocorrelated residuals using 15 lagged autocorrelations,<br />

Engle’s test for autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity of orders one<br />

and four (ARCH), Ramsey’s RESET specification test, and the Jarque-Bera<br />

test for normality (NORMAL). A value at or below 0.05 means that the null<br />

can be rejected at the 5 per cent level.<br />
