You have data on all individuals in Sweden, including their family size (i.e. their number of children) and their earnings. You want to estimate the effect of family size on earnings, but you suspect your regression will be biased as you do not have information on preferences for how many children people want to have. a) You have information on gender of all children. You have heard that peoplewho have two children of the same gender are more likely to have a third child. Would you be able to use gender composition of the first two children as an instrument for family size? Discuss the assumptions needed for such a model (assume treatment effects are constant). Set up the assumptions mathematically and explain in words what they mean. b) How would you test if the assumptions in b) hold? Is it likely that they hold? (Assume gender composition of the first two children is the only instrument you have access to.)
Regression analysis and the correlation coefficient can both be used to analyze the relationship between two economic variables. What are the advantages of using regression analysis instead of looking at the correlation coefficient?

23. An education economist estimated the wage equation to determine the rate of return to an additional year of education and obtained ln(WAGE) = -0.5220+0.1075×EDUC. it is anticipated that ability ( attributes, such as intelligence, creativity, perseverance and industriousness) is positively correlated with UDUC. If a measure of a bility is omitted from the model the estimated return to education A. Is biased downwards B. Is biased upwards C. Cannot be estimated D. All the above
Consider the population regression of log earnings [Y;, where Y,= In(Earnings,;)] against two binary variables: whether a worker is married (D₁, where D₁;= 1 if the th person is married) and the worker's gender (D2;, where D₂;= 1 if the th person is female), and the product of the two binary variables Y₁ = Po+B₁D₁+P₂D2i + P3 (D₁¡ × D₂i) + Hi- The interaction term: O A. indicates the effect of being married on log earnings. B. does not make sense since it could be zero for married males. C. allows the population effect on log earnings of being married to depend on gender. D. cannot be estimated without the presence of a continuous variable.

5. Confounding variables and multiple regressions Suppose you are interested in studying the effect of square footage on the price of houses. You propose the following regression of housing prices on square footage: price - Bo + P sqft + u where price the price of the house. sqft = the square footage of the house residual Failing to account for the number of bathrooms in a house, which may influence housing prices and may be positively correlated with square footage, could lead to estimate of the effect . This issue of confounding variables would likely bias the estimate of
How do you interpret the R-squared obtained from running this regression?
How would you interpret the slope coefficient of the following regression output given that X represents individual height in centimeters and Y represents wages in rands/hour. Ỹ; = -33 + 4.3X₂ O A. On average, when an individual's height is zero, they pay their employer R33 per hour. O B. On average, taller individuals earn higher wages. O C. On average, for each one centimeter increase in height, a given individual will lower their wage by R4.3 per hour. OD. On average, for each centimeter in height, an individual will increase their wage by -33 + R4.3 per hour. O E. On average, when an individual reduces their height by one centimeter, they necessarily increase their wages by R4.3 per hour.
