Suppose you work for North Dakota DNR Grand Forks office. DNR would like to know whether they should set aside some conservation land, previously slated to be logged, for a potential state park. You are helping do a travel-cost analysis to estimate the benefits of the set-aside. You collected data from 500 visitors who came to a state park in a neighboring state. You ran regression analysis and controlled for these visitors' age, income, education, employment status, and other important factors that might affect the number of visits. With all the information, you have developed the following relationship: (a) (b) Cost to Visit $20 $40 $80 # of Visits Per Person Per Year 8 6 2 Graph the demand curve for the number of visits as a function of the "price" -- the travel cost. Based on demographic information about the people living in the vicinity of the proposed park, you have estimated that 10,000 people will take an average of 4 visits per year. For the average person, calculate: (1) The…
According to Environmental Kuznets curve, it is expected that there is an Inverse-U shape relationship between pollution and real income such that the following quadratic functional form (regression model) must be specified: Y = a1 + a2 X + a3 X² + u where the variables Y and X represent respectively air pollution (CO2) and real income (RGDP). u is the random error. a) Suppose a researcher wants to investigate the relationship between pollution and real income by defining a linear functional form such as Y = B1+ B2 X+e. Show technically how you test whether quadratic form or linear form is the correct model specification using Ramsey's Reset test. b) Suppose R² is found 0.75 from quadratic form, 0.55 from linear form and 0.73 from the auxiliary regression. Given n=35, carry out Reset test and interpret the result. c) Suppose you found out that the correct specification is the quadratic regression. In this case, would estimating the linear functional form result in an unbiased estimate…
Consider the following scenario. A sports economist has collected data to test the relationship between shot quality and points per game for a sample of NBA players. The data is a panel dataset comprised of 2,000 NBA players with season-level performance statistics over the past 50 NBA seasons. The sports economist is worried that the player's primary playing position might be correlated with both shot quality and points per game, and position is easy to measure. However, historical changes in analytics have influenced the types of shots players across the league have taken over time, and these changes are generally difficult to quantify. To address the potential omitted variable bias that could arise because of this, the economist should include in their regression: Time fixed effects O Neither time nor entity fixed effects Both time and entity fixed effects O Entity fixed effects
Hello, please help me to solve the question (c) and (d) below.Consider this regression model (1) : Yt = β0 + β1 Ut + β2 Vt + β3 Wt + β4 Xt + εt ; where t= 1, ..., 75.We use OLS to estimate the parameters, producing the following model:Ŷt = 1.115 + 0.790 Ut − 0.327 Vt + 0.763 Wt + 0.456 Xt (0.405) (0.178) (0.088) (0.274) (0.017) Given that:R2 = 0.941; Durbin Watson stat DW = 1.907; RSS = 0.0757.(To answer the question, use the 5% level of significance, state clearly H0 and H1 that are tested, the test statistics that are used, and interpret the decisions.) (a) Describe the concepts of unbiasedness and efficiency. State the conditions required of regression (1) in order that the OLS estimators of the model parameters possess these properties. (b) Perform the following tests on the parameters of regression (1): (i) test whether the parameters β1, β2, β3 and β4 are individually statistically significant; (ii) test the overall significance of the regression model;…

Which of the following is true of heteroskedasticity? a) The R-squared statistic is affected by the presence of heteroskedasticity b) Heteroskedasticty causes inconsistency in the Ordinary Least Squares estimators c) The OLS estimators are not the best linear unbiased estimators if heteroskedasticity is present d) It is not possible to obtain F statistics that are robust to heteroskedasticity of an unknown form
Heteroskedasticity can occur in a regression model if (a) the functional form of the regression model is misspecified (b) the Breusch-Pagan test results in a large p-value (c) the White test results in a large p-value (d) the regression model includes too many independent variables (e) the Breusch-Pagan test statistic is smaller than the critical value
Finally consider the regression model with an extra covariate: Yi = Bo + B1x1i + B2x2; + €; Let 32=3.13, it's standard error s.e.(B1)=1.12 and assume n=811. Based only on this information, decide if it is useful to include X2i in the regression model. Carefully showing every step of your hypothesis test and explaining your answer. Use signifi- cance level a = .05.
When Y is regressed on X, B, > 0, sx+ 0, sy # 0, and the fraction of the variation in Y explained by the least-squares regression of Y on X does not equal 1. In this example, the sum of the squares of the deviations of the actual Y-values from their mean would definitely be greater than the sum of the squares of the deviations of the predicted Y-values from their mean. 1 A) B) true false 4. When Y is regressed on X, the sample slope is negative, sx + 0, sy + 0, and Y; = Y; for every observation. In this example, the sum of the squares of the deviations of the predicted Y-values from their mean would definitely be less than the sum of the squares of the deviations of the actual Y-values from their mean. A) В) true false 3.

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.
Econometrics Thomas Eisensee and David Stromberg wanted to measure how much news coverage of a foreign disaster impacted the amount of disaster relief provided by the U.S. government. They argue that the simple relationship would be biased. Let X = Minutes of News Coverage and Y= Disaster Aid. Choose a variable X2 that could bias the simple relationship. This variable should impact the amount of coverage and impact the amount of aid for reasons other than purely news coverage. Eisensee and Stromberg introduce an instrument Z = During the Olympics. Explain how Z could satisfy the relevant and exogenous criteria. Explain how you could use Z to estimate the impact of X on Y free from X2 bias. Hint: you should mention two stages.
