You and your research partner want to use Instrumental Variable analysis to write an econometrics paper and find causal estimates. Your partner argues that because the residuals and the instrument are uncorrelated, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied. What do you tell your research partner: a) You agree, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied by construction b) You agree, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied by their demonstration c) You disagree, you would need the results of the White Test to make this conclusion d) You disagree, the exogeneity requirement cannot be tested as we do not observe the error terms e) You cannot make any conclusions with the current information
Comparing the Chamberlin model with the Cournet model, explain it on the figure.
First present the equations used in the empirical test of the Heckscher-Ohlin- Vanek (HOV) model explaining all variables, vectors and matrices used. Then present both hypotheses of the HOV model and explain how they relate to the original Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson hypothesis.
Why would I use a one-tailed (directional) hypothesis? What are the limitations of using a one-tailed hypothesis?
The Atlas Movies Theater is planning to reprice their ticket rates to maximize revenues. They have three classes of tickets: Classic, Silver, and Gold. The accompanying table provides information on the average ticket sales, revenue and price elasticity on demand. They have a total seating capacity of 300. The table also provides the price range within which they plan to reduce their ticket rates. According to the nonlinear model, which of the following is the projected revenue figure for Silver tickets based on its new price? Click the icon to view the ticketing model.

What is event modeling? Multiple Choice The event model adjusts data for each of the events identified to distort the trend and seasonal patterns of the time series. The event model adds a growth factor to the moving average as a way of adjusting for the event. The event model adds a smoothing constant for the events identified as important in the historical data. The event model initializes events so they can be selected to initialize or warm up the model.

Consider the following empirical research question: "To what extent does the per capita consumption of margarine cause divorce?" Identify its problems, checking all that apply. This question does not properly define the population the data will be collected from. This question is too broad. This question assumes that there is a relationship between the consumption of margarine and divorce rate. This question does not include a hypothesis. This question is fine as is.
Question 7 1) Listen Cities often want to determine how much additional law enforcement will decrease their murder rates. A simple model with cross-section data at the provincial level to address this question is (1) murdpc-Bo+Bipolpc+Bzincpc+Bapvty+u where murdpc is murders per capita, polpc is number of police officers per capita, incpc is income per capita and pvty is the percent of people in the city that are below a poverty line and u is the error term. Suppose that the supply of polpc is a function of murdpc described by the following equation (2) polpc=6o+8ımurdpc+5zincpc+53stax+v where stax is the percent of sales tax in the province in which the city is located and v is the error term. The reduced form equation of murdpc is a regression model of this variable as a function of the following variables plus an error term incpc, stax O incpc, stax, pvty O none of the other answers are correct O stax, pvty O incpc, pvty
