Notes: Standard errors are in parenthesis. * significant at 5%; ∇ = (1 - B) and ∇12 = (1 - B12): regular and seasonal differences; B: lag operator; ΔPTi (i = SMT, 10BT, SBT, 10BT, TC): rates of growth of deflated prices for Metro and bus tickets; LBQ: Ljung-Box Q statistics; lowercase sigma caret subscript {lowercase a} = residual standard error.
