5. “The RAND Health Insurance Study gave every subject a fixed amount of money that covered the maximum possible expenditure that each subject might have. Because of this, all participants could act as if they had full coverage, and the experiment was invalid.” Assuming the validity of the first sentence, comment on the inference drawn in the second sentence.
Problem 3 (Wooldridge 15.8): Suppose you want to test whether girls who attend a girls' high school do better in math than girls who attend co-ed (mixed-gender) schools. You have a random sample of senior high school girls from a state in the United States. Let score be the score on a standardized math test. Let girlhs be a dummy variable indicating whether a student attends a girls' high school. 1. What other factors would you control for in the equation? (You should be able to reasonably collect data on the factors you mention.) 2. Write an equation relating score to girlhs and the other factors you listed in part (1). 3. Suppose that parental moral support and motivation are unmeasured factors in the error term in part (2). Are these likely to be correlated with girlhs? Explain what are the problems that this creates in your model. 4. Discuss the assumptions needed for the number of girls' high schools within a 20-mile radius of a girl's home to be a valid IV for girlhs. 5. Suppose…
Question 2 A new digital file of lectures on the topic of intermediate microeconomics is being marketed on the Internet as a resource to prepare for the final exam. As an experiment, the marketing firm wants to direct half of Web hits to a page that advertises the lectures as a resource that provide a 90% probability of successfully passing the final exam, while the other half are directed to a page that advertises the lectures as a resource that provide a 10% probability of failing to pass the final exam. Would you expect equal numbers of sales from the two advertising approaches? Explain and use the appropriate concepts to answer the question, demonstrating your critical understanding of the relevant course material.
2. You are interested in the effect of a factory being inspected on whether it reduces its pollution output. There's a variable "number of reported violations" that you have. When the number of reported violations goes from 9 to 10, the probability of being inspected jumps from 20% to 60%. Average pollution levels decrease from 600k Imetric tons of CO2 to 500k metric tons going from 9 to 10 violations as well. What is the fuzzy regression discontinuity estimate of the effect of inspections on air pollution levels?

k : ces As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 50 percent chance of low demand and a 50 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P= 300,000-400Q and P= 500,000 -225Q, respectively. Your cost function is CQ) = 165,000+ 243,750Q. How many new homes should you build, and what profits can you expect? Number of homes you should build: homes Profits you can expect: $1

If your overall grade point average is 2.0 and you earn a 2.5 GPA this semester, your overall grade point average will increase. This situation demonstrates the general principle that if average value is greater than marginal value, marginal value will increase. if average value is greater than total value, total value will increase. if marginal value is greater than average value, average value will increase. if marginal value is greater than total value, total value will increase.
