3)Suppose we are testing a null hypothesis against a two-sided alternative, then the alternative can be written as: A. E(Y) > μY,0 B. E(Y) = μY,0 C. ≠ μY,0 D. E(Y) ≠ μY,0
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.
Suppose we are interested in evaluating the impact on wages of being a college graduate and of residing in California. To this end we define the following dummy variables if college graduate if not college graduate coll = ncoll = if not college graduate if college graduate 1 cali = if residing in California S 1 if not residing in California ncali = if not residing in California if residing in California and for wages denoting yearly wages, we estimate the following model of returns to education wages = B1 coll+ B2ncoll + B3 cali + B4(coll x cali) + e where E[e|coll, cali] = 0. Which parameter or combination of parameters measures the increase in expected wages from obtaining a college degree (comparing to not having a college degree) when residing California? O a. None of the other options is correct O b. Bi – B2 O c. B1 – B2 + ß4 O d. B4 O e. Bi + B3 – ßi – B4 O f. Bi + B4 – ß2 – B4 Clear my choice

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.
Suppose the researcher considers the following model : Wage = Bo+B,Female + u, and runs OLS, using wage data on 250 randomly selected male workers and 280 female workers. The researcher has obtained the estimated equation as Wage = 15 (1.00) 3 Female, R = 0.05. (0.5) In the equation, Wage is measured in dollars per hour, Female is a binary variable that is equal to 1 if the person is a female and O if the person is a male. The numbers in the parentheses are the standard errors of the coefficients. Which Statement is NOT correct? The coefficient of Female, -3.00, is statistically significant at 5%. O The p-value for the test that Ho: B = 0, H : B 0 is less than 0.05. This regression may suffer omitted variable bias. R Since insignificant. is too low, the wage difference between men and women is The researcher can increase R- by including more regressors in the model.
The model initial setup is• The number of vacancies posted in the economy during a particular month is v = 100.• There were initially u = 225 unemployed workers at the beginning of the month.• Suppose that the average wage is 0.6 relative to their productivity. Unemployed workersreceive benefits that are half the wage, i.e., b = 0.3 relative to productivity.• Suppose that the number of matches between firms and workers are given by thefollowing matching functionsM = Au^0.5v^0.5• Suppose that 45 workers were able to find a job by the end of the month.Answer the following questions.a) What is the monthly job finding rate?b) What is the probability that an average vacancy is filled in a month?c) What is the job creation cost, k?d) What is the value of A?e) Explain how introducing a searching cost to this model would affect the queue length,the number of vacancy and unemployment rate, and wage.

Describe the recommended approach towards determining model specification.How does the R2 help in determining an appropriate model? Is theideal model the one with the highest R2? Should a regressor be included in the model if it increases the model R2?
We have a pooled cross section of data with data from 2009 and 1999 on women’s wages and their years of education. We consider the model: wage = β0 + β1Year2009 + β2educ + β3Year2009 × educ + u where wage is the hourly wage and educ is the years of education. Year2009 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the year 2009 and 0 otherwise. Which of the following measures the change in the effect of education on the wage between 1999 and 2009? a) β0 b) β1 + β2 + β3 c) none of these answers d) β1 + β3 e) β3
