Suppose you have estimated a log log model of life expectancy as a function of income in which log LE = 3.7 +0.3 x log INC where LE is life expectancy measured in years and INC is income measured in £000s. What is your estimate of the elasticity of life expectancy with respect to changes in income? Answer:

Suppose Jane buys nothing but wine and roses. Initially, in week 1 the price of wine is pw=10 and the price of roses is pr=20, and she purchases W=5 bottles of wine and R=2 roses. A week later the price of roses increases to Pr'=30. but the price of wine is unchanged. How much additional income would Jane need to be able to afford the same bundle she initially purchased? liE

Economists use the mid-point formula for calculating a percentage change because it yields the same answer no matter if the variable increases or decreases. Select one: True False
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.
Consider a consumer who can borrow or lend freely at an interest rate of 100% per period of time (think of the period as being, say, 30 years, a bit like with a mortgage). So r = 1.0, or 100%. The consumer's two-period utility function is: U = In(ct) + (1/2)In(Ct+1) The consumer earn Y=100 each period, so Y₁=100 and Yt+1 also equals 100. If this consumer is behaving optimally, trying to maximize her lifetime utility subject to the IBC, what's her consumption in period t?

Consider the following empirical research question: "To what extent does the per capita consumption of margarine cause divorce?" Identify its problems, checking all that apply. This question does not properly define the population the data will be collected from. This question is too broad. This question assumes that there is a relationship between the consumption of margarine and divorce rate. This question does not include a hypothesis. This question is fine as is.
