A researcher is investigating the impact of a firm's capital intensity on its labour productivity using datafor the year 2014 for a sample of manufacturing firms from Germany, France, Sweden, Italy and the UK.She has estimated the following model:LP 190 +0.3 × CAPIN - 31.8 × FR + 65.4 × SE + 15.8 × UK - 25.1 × ITwhere:LP is the firm's labour productivity (measured as turnover per employee, in €000s per employee);CAPIN is the firm's capital intensity (measured as total assets per employee, in €000s per employee);FR is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the firm is French and 0 otherwise;SE is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the firm is Swedish and 0 otherwise;UK is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the firm is British and 0 otherwise;IT is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the firm is Italian and 0 otherwise.Enter in the box below the predicted value of labour productivity for a British firm with a capital intensityof € 250 000 (CAPIN=250):Answer:

Given information: LP = 190 + 0.3 * CAPIN - 31.8 * FR + 65.4 * SE + 15.8 *UK - 25.1 * IT Where: LP…

A researcher wants to test the relationship between the number of years of formal education received (X) and the average weekly earnings (Y) (measured in hundred dollars). A report released by a government agency suggests that the average weekly earnings of individuals with no formal education is equal to $545. The researcher wants to test whether the average weekly earnings with no formal education is $545 or greater than that. He collects data from a sample of 120 individuals and estimates the following regression function: Y-6.91+2.30X, (1.25) (4.25) where , is the predicted value of the weekly earnings for the individual and the standard errors for the coefficients appear in parenthesis. The f-statistic for the test the researcher wants to conduct will be (Round your answer to two decimal places)
T or F A household is frequently used in analyses because more consistent data are usually collected at that level.
The models below have been estimated using monthly data for the period 2000: 1-2020: 12. The natural logarithm of the variables used in this model is taken and the transaction is made. D08 is the dummy variable that takes a value of 1 in 2008 and after and 0 in other periods. s.e. indicates the standard error. Comment on the coefficients of variables D08 and (X2t * D08) in the model (3) above.

Number of Scenario Firms Type of Product Market Model A large city has lots of small shops where people can buy sweaters. Each store's sweaters reflect the style of that particular store. Additionally, some stores use higher-quality yarn than others, which is reflected in their price. Dozens of companies produce plain white socks. Consumers regard plain white socks as identical and don't care about who sells them their socks. The technology for producing socks is widely known, and any reputable person who wanted to start a sock manufacturing business could obtain a loan from a bank to buy the necessary machinery. In a large city, two taxi companies own all the licenses that the city will grant to operate taxis. Consumers don't care which cab company they take-if they decide it's worth taking a cab, they flag down the nearest one. The government has granted the U.S. Postal Service the exclusive right to deliver mail.
the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-year-olds was reported to be 10.8% (the Cincinnati Enquirer, november 6, 2012). assume that this report was based on a random sample of four hundred 18- to 34-year-olds. a. a political campaign manager wants to know if the sample results can be used to conclude that the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-years-olds is significantly higher than the unemployment rate for all adults. according to the bureau of labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for all adults was 7.9%. develop a hypothesis test that can be used to see if the conclusion that the unemployment rate is higher for 18- to 34-year-olds can be supported.b. use the sample data collected for the 18- to 34-year-olds to compute the p-value for the hypothesis test in part (a). using a 5 .05, what is your conclusion?c. explain to the campaign manager what can be said about the observed level of significance for the hypothesis testing results using the p-value

We have a random sample of workers from a large firm. In 2017, the firm ran a training program. Some workers did the training program, others did not. The firm now wants to assess the effect of the training on earnings. We use the following model to estimate the effect of a training program on annual earnings in 2018: ln⁡(earn2018)=β0+β1train+β2ln⁡(earn2016)+β3educ+β4exper+u where earn2018 = individual total annual earnings in 2018 in dollars train = a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the individual worker did the training in 2017 and 0 otherwise earn2016 = individual total annual earnings in 2016 in dollars educ = the individual's years of education exper = the individual's years of experience We find: ln⁡(earn2018)^= 11.672 + 0.041train + 0.821ln⁡(earn2016) + 0.037educ + 0.012exper (5.864) (0.019) (0.258) (0.013) (0.007) n=1278, R2= 0.048 Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the…
