ETC 3460 / ETC 5346 Assignment 2

 Due: At or before 4:30pm on Thursday 24 May 2022 

The assignment must be electronically submitted by 4:30pm on Tuesday 24 May in PDF format. Your le needs to be uploaded by only one member of each group. However, all group members must click the "Submit Assignment" button on Moodle and accept the Universitys submission statement. This is essential, so please make sure to do this. Late submission of your work will result in a loss of marks. Each group member will also be required to complete an anonymous peer evaluation survey. The survey will be done via the TeamMates app which will email you a unique link to the survey (to your Monash student email address). You will be asked to rate your group membersparticipation and eort. These surveys may also be used to adjust your assignment marks (for example, if one group member is deemed to only have contributed half as much as everyone else, they will only get half of the assignment mark). Failure to complete the survey will result in a loss of marks. Altogether, your report should not be more than 8 pages with paragraphs clearly separated (use Times New Roman fontsize 12). Important graphs and equations (in equation form, not screen shots of EViews or other software output) must be included within the report, and supporting material such as EViews or other software output should be included in an appendix (the appendix is not included in the page count, and it will not be marked. It will be used only to check if the results included within the text are reported correctly). Introduction This assignment is to be completed with your corresponding group members.
