A researcher wants to study the determinants of crime in Turkey. For this she has data 81 Turkish provinces over 17 years. She estimates by OLS the following regression crmpc = Bo + D; + B1polpc + a;+UR where crmpc is the crime rate per head of population, polpc is the number of police officers per 1000 individuals. The parameter D, refers to year fixed effects and is one in year t and zero for all other years. a, is the unobserved province fixed effect and u, is a random unobservable term (idiosyncratic shock). The First Difference estimator (Check all that apply). Your answer: O allows covariance between u, and polpc O does not allow covariance between a , and polpc O allows covariance between a, and polpc

A website that rents movies online recorded the age and the number of movies rented during the past month for some of their customers. The data are shown below for a random sample of 25 of their customers.The regression line for the data, with number of movie rentals as the response variable, provides an intercept = 18.87, and slope = -0.228. The standard error of the slope SE(b1) = 0.0827. Margin of error ME for a 99% Confidence Interval for the slope of the Population regression line is: 0.1161 0.2322 0.4644 0.3483
The index of industrial production (IP) is a monthly time series that measures the quantity of industrial commodities produced in a given month. This problem uses data on this index for the United States. All regressions are estimated over the sample period 1986:M1 to 2017:M12 (that is, January 1986 through December 2017). Let Ye=1200 x In(IP/IP-1). Suppose that a forecaster estimates the following AR(4) model for Ye Ŷ=0.749 +0.071Y1 + 0.170Y 2 + 0.216Y 3 + 0.167Y(-4 (0.488) (0.088) (0.053) (0.078) (0.064) The forecaster wants to use this AR(4) to forecast the value of Ye in January 2018, using the following values of IP for July 2017 through December 2017: Date IP 2017:M7 2017:M8 2017:M9 2017:M10 2017:M11 2017:M12 105.01 104.56 104.82 106.58 106.86 107.30 The forecast value is a.

Suppose we estimated our multiple linear regression, all of the variables have p values below 0.05 (so they are statistically different from zero) but the intercept has p-value equal to p=0.343. What does it mean?
Question 1) Which of the following can cause the usual OLS t statistics to be invalid (that is, not to have t distribu- tions under HO)? (i) Heteroskedasticity. (ii) A sample correlation coefficient of 95 between two independent variables that are in the model. (iii) Omitting an important explanatory variable Question 2) Which of the following can cause OLS estimators to be biased? (i) Heteroskedasticity. (ii) Omitting an important variable. (iii) A sample correlation coefficient of .95 between two independent variables both included in the model.
To determine whether the revenue made trom selling ice creams in a smal shop (in USD) and the temperature (in Celcius degrees) are related, a researcher decides to employ the simple linear regression analysis. Using a random set of days in which the temperature varies between 20 and 35, she comes up with the following regression line: Ice Cream Revenue- 200 90 Temperature Based on this analysis, what can she conclude? O A)At 20 Celcius degrees. the shop owner can xpect to sell 5000 USD O B)AI 30 Celoius degrees, the shop owner can expect to sel 2000 usD O C)As the temperature goes up by one degree Celoius, the revenue increases by approximately 00% OD)On average ce cream revenue is about 200 USD when the temperature is O degrees Celcus O E)As the temperature goes up by one degree Celcius. the reverue inereases by approximately 200 USD.
The data for this question is given in the file 1.Q1.xlsx(see image) and it refers to data for some cities X1 = total overall reported crime rate per 1 million residents X3 = annual police funding in $/resident X7 = % of people 25 years+ with at least 4 years of college (a) Estimate a regression with X1 as the dependent variable and X3 and X7 as the independent variables. (b) Will additional education help to reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in crime)? Please explain. (c) Will an increase in funding for the police departments help reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in total overall crime)? Please explain. (d) If you were asked to recommend a policy to reduce crime, then, based only on the above regression results, would you choose to invest in education (local schools) or in additional funding for the police? Please explain.
