Suppose you estimate the equation colGPA = Bo + B1faminc+ B,hsGPA+ B3SAT + u where faminc is a student's family income that is reported on a survey when the student is in college. Because the data are self reported, you believe that the family income data recorded in faminc is not the exact income that a family has, but rather an approximation or best-guess. Which of the following is likely to be true about the estimated relationship between family income and college GPA B1 and the true relationship between family income and college GPA B1? A. E(ß1) = B1 B. E(B1) > B1 C. E(B) < B1 D. E(3) = 0

Cristina is excited with these averages and tells her public relations team to prepare a glossy brochure to showcase this $250 increase in household income. which of the following must be true to confidently conclude that this $250 difference in average income was caused by access to a UThere The herders who bought UThere phones would have had higher income than the herders who did not even if they had not purchased the UThere phone. The herders who bought UThere phones would have had the same income as the herders who did not even if they had not purchased the UThere phone. We don’t need to worry about Selection Bias since Nepal and Tibet are small countries with more or less similar people. The equation for Selection Bias does not provide enough information since we do not know the counterfactuals.
Based on the criteria used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), identify each person's status as employed, unemployed, "not in the labor force" (if not in the civilian labor force but still part of the adult population), or "not in the adult population" if not in the civilian adult population.

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.
Draw and compare lorenz curves for the given array of population, 20% from the population strata given. Population of country A from poorest to richest has income shares of 8%, 13%, 15%, 23% and 41% while the country B has 8%, 10%, 13%, 25% and 44% respectively. Looking at both results what can be inferred? Calculate GINI Coefficient as well
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.
A tax on Cigarettes introduced in Mexico in 2012 increased the price of Cigarettes by about 10%. An evaluation of the first two years of this measure found that Cigarette consumption fell on average by 7.6%, with a larger decrease (11.7%) in low income households. The study also estimated an increase in consumption of alternatives to smoking, particularly Nicotine patches, of 2.1% (AYA, 2017) Explain factors that determine responsiveness to a price increase. Which of these factors might explain the difference in the economy and low income households?

Exercise Annika spends all of her income on golf and pancakes. Greens fees at a local golf course are $10 per round. Pancake mix is $2 per box. When Annika's income is $100 per week, she buys 5 boxes of pancake mix and 9 rounds of golf. When Annika's income rises to $120 per week, she buys 10 boxes of pancake mix and 10 rounds of golf. Based on these figures, determine whether each of the following statements is true or false, and briefly explain your reasoning 1. Golf is a normal good, and pancake mix is an inferior good 2. Golf is a luxury good 3. Pancakes are a luxury good
