In 2010, Scott Carrell, Marianne Page, and James West published a paper that uses econometrics in order to understand whether professor gender impacts student performance in math and science courses. The authors collected data on student grades in introductory courses taken between 2001-2008 for each of 9,015 students. I took some liberties in simplifying their results below. The following equation describes the performance of students in introductory math and science courses in terms of whether the professor is female or not (FemaleProfessor), whether the student is female or not (FemaleStudent), and an interaction variable between professor gender and student gender (FemaleStndent*FemaleProfessor). Performance is defined as a student's normalized grade in the course (this means you interpret changes in the performance variable in

Look at the following regression table where the dependent variable is the demand for illegal massage services in a city in the United States. Specifically, the dependent variable is the number of customers per hour (Models 1 and 2) or per day (Models 3 and 4). (a) Explain why the coefficient for Population/1,000 in Model 2 is very different from the one in Model 4?(b) Can you reject H0 in Model 1 if H0 : βP opulation/1,000 = 0.01, H1 : βPopulation/1,000 6= 0.01, and α = 0.01?
Where we observe multicollinearity in a multiple regression analysis, two of our independent variables, x-1 and x-4, are so highly correlated they’re almost indistinguishable with respect to their relationship with our dependent (y) variable. Why is that a problem?

The first independent variable (Xt2) will be a cubed value of the rate of return on individual companies. Is the inclusion of this variable consistent with the assumptions of the simple linear regression model? Explain your answer b. What is the additional assumption for this time-series model that does not apply to a cross-sectional analysis? c. If you suspected that your dependent variable Y was not stationary, explain the three unit root processes that you could test for. d. What does the letter "t" represent in the model?

3. Consider the following regression model: Weekly Hours = Bo + B1 × Wage + uj Weekly Hours is the average number of hours the individual worked over the course of the year and Wage is the individual's average hourly wage over the course of the year. A researcher who collects data and regresses Weekly Hours against Wage finds that B1 > 0. The OLS estimator, B, however, likely suffers from omitted variable bias because those individuals who earn high wages may be driven personalities who would work long hours no matter the wage. Because of this omitted variable bias, it is likely the case that B1_B1. A) В)

Suppose that you perform a hypothesis test for the slope of the population regression line with the null hypothesis H0: β1 = 0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha: β1 ≠ 0. If you reject the null hypothesis, what can you say about the utility of the regression equation for making predictions?
