**Exercise 5.3: Analyzing Household Budget on Alcohol Expenditure**

**Introduction:**
Consider the following model that relates the percentage of a household’s budget spent on alcohol, \( WALC \), to total expenditure \( TOTEXP \), the age of the household head \( AGE \), and the number of children in the household \( NK \).

\[ WALC = \beta_1 + \beta_2 \ln(TOTEXP) + \beta_3 NK + \beta_4 AGE + e \]

This model was estimated using 1200 observations from London. An incomplete version of this output is provided in Table 5.6.

**Table 5.6: Output for Exercise 5.3**

   - ii. The standard error for \(\beta_2\).
   - iii. The estimate \(\beta_4\).
   - iv. \( R^2 \).

b. Interpret each of the estimates \(\beta_2\), \(\beta_3\), and \(\beta_4\).

c. Compute a 95% interval estimate for \(\beta_4\). What does this interval tell you?

d. Are each of the coefficient estimates significant at a 5% level? Why?

e. Test the hypothesis that the addition of an extra child decreases

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello! As you have posted more than 3 sub parts, we are answering the first 3 sub-parts.  In case you require the unanswered parts also, kindly re-post that parts separately.

 

a.

i)

t statistic for b1:

t=Coefficient of C/stdError =1.4515/2.2019 =0.6592

ii)

Standard error for b2:

standard error=coefficient of ln(TOTEXP)t statistic                         =2.76485.7103                       =0.4842

iii)

Estimate b3:

Estimate=t statistic*Std error of NK                =-3.9376*0.3695                =-1.4549

iv)

Given that

 σY=6.39547SSTN-1=6.39547SST1200-1=40.90204SST=49041.54

SSE=46221.62.

Therefore,

R2=1-SSESST     =1-46221.6249041.54      =0.0575

v)

σ^=SSEN-K-1   =46221.621200-3-1   =6.2167

Here, N=sample size=1200, Number of independent variables=3
