Read Kiyotaki (1998). Consider the model in section 2 of the paper. Suppose there is no borrowing constraint (i.e., assume 0 is arbitrarily large). Also assume that a = 1.2, ß = 0.9, y = 1.05, d = 0.1, and n = 4. (The notations of variables and parameters follow Kiyotaki (1998). Just in case, & denotes the lower case of Delta in the Greek alphabet.) Reference: Kivotaki, N. (1998). "Credit and Business Cycles." The Japanese Economic Review, volume 49, issue 1, pages 18-35. 1. What is the equilibrium value of the net interest rate in the steady state? (For example, if your answer is 5% in percentage points, then enter 0.05.)

Suppose that in the model of Myers and Majluf (1984) the parameters take on the following values: λ = 0.60, H = 3, L = 2, I = 1.0, R = 1.25, r = 10 per cent. Use the above data and answer the following questions: (a) Does the model have a separating equilibrium, a pooling equilibrium, or both? (b) Based on your answer to question (a), what is the gain in wealth of the current shareholders of a firm that announces the issuing of new shares to finance the project of investment?
If we suppose that the weekly price of milk is $3.40 per gallon and MPEP changes the weekly advertising to $300, the best-fitting regression model to estimate the weekly quantity of milk consumed would be Q = 6.52 - 1.614 (3.40) + .005 (300) = 2.533 gallons of milk. What is the elasticity between $5 and $4? Should you lower or raise price to maximize revenue?
Consider the following model of house prices: lhprice=β0+β1bdrms+β2llotsize+β3lsqrft+u The variables are defined as: lhprice = the natural log of the house price bedrms = the number of bedrooms llotsize = the natural log of the land or lot size lsqrft = the natural log of the floor space of the house in square feet. You may assume the Gauss Markov Assumptions hold. Which of the following will make our inference on the partial effect of the number of bedrooms on the house price less precise? a) A smaller variance of any unobserved factors captured in the error term, u. b) A larger sample size. c) More variation in the number of bedrooms across the observations in the sample. d) None of the possible answers describe something that would make our inference less precise. e) A higher correlation between the number of bedrooms and the floor space of the house.
Children who were breastfed as infants have higher average IQs on average than children who were not. Breastfeeding advocates claim that this is due to the superior nutrition in breastmilk including brain building chemicals such as DHA. You have been hired to investigate this relationship more fully. Your employers are worried about the possibility of omitted variables biasing the results of the study. Name 3 possible omitted variables and explain how they might bias the results. Explain 2 empirical strategies you might use in your investigation.
Consider the following model of the factors that influence a person's annual wage: Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X1X2 + β4X3 + u where Y = annual wage, in dollars X1= years of formal education X2 = age, in years X3 = variable equal to 1 if male, 0 otherwise U = error term Which of the following is the interpretation of β1 alone? The effect of X1 on Y when X2 = 0 The effect of X1 on Y when X2 is at its median value. The effect of X1 on Y, holding all else equal. The effect of X1 on Y when X2 is at its mean value.
You and your research partner want to use Instrumental Variable analysis to write an econometrics paper and find causal estimates. Your partner argues that because the residuals and the instrument are uncorrelated, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied. What do you tell your research partner: a) You agree, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied by construction b) You agree, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied by their demonstration c) You disagree, you would need the results of the White Test to make this conclusion d) You disagree, the exogeneity requirement cannot be tested as we do not observe the error terms e) You cannot make any conclusions with the current information

Imagine you are trying to explain the effect of square footage on home sale prices in the United States. You collect a random sample of 100,000 homes that recently sold. a) Homes can be one of three types: single-family houses, townhomes, or condos. How would you control for a home’s type in a regression model? b) Write down a regression model that includes controls for home type, square footage, and number of bedrooms. c) How would you interpret the estimated coefficients for each of the variables from part b? Be specific. Note Don't forget to include dummy variables.
In a regression problem with one output variable and one input variable, we set up two cutpoints z1 and z2 for the input variable and we fit a step function regression model based on these two cutpoints of the input variable. If you write the regression problem in matrix form y = X%*%β + ε, how many rows would the vector β have?
General Cereals is using a regression model to estimate the demand for Tweetie Sweeties, a whistle-shaped, sugar-coated breakfast cereal for children. The following (multiplicative exponential) demand function is being used: QD= 6,280 P 1.35) 42.05 N 2.70 where QD quantity demanded, in 10-oz boxes P = price per box, in dollars A = advertising expenditures on daytime television, in dollars N = proportion of the population under 12 years old, in percent What is the point price elasticity of demand for Tweetie Sweeties? O 2.70 O 2.05 -0.66 -1.35 What is the advertising elasticity of demand? -1.35 O 2.70 O 0.76 O 2.05 According to the estimated model, a percent increase in the proportion of the population under 12 years old by percent. the quantity demanded
Explain carefully why running the regression above might suffer from endogeneity concerns: are their any unobservable variables that might confound the results? Should we be worried about reverse causality? What empirical methods could we use to address these concerns?
