The following model can be used to study whether campaign expenditures affect election outcomes: vote A = Bo + Bilog(expendA) + B₂log (expendB) +33prtystrA +u where vote is the percentage of the vote received by Candidate A, expendA and expendB are campaign expenditures by Candidates A and B, and prtystrA is a mea- sure of party strength for Candidate A (the percentage of the most recent presidential vote that went to A's party). 1. What is the interpretation of B₁? 2. In terms of the parameters, state the null hypothesis that a 1% increase in A's expenditures is offset by a 1% increase in B's expenditures. 3. Estimate the given model using the data in VOTE1.dta (from Wooldridge) and report the results in usual form. Do A's expenditures affect the outcome? What about B's expenditures? Can you use these results to test the hypothesis in part 2?

Consider the following unobserved effects model: Yit =B₁ it1 + ... +ßkxitk + ai + Uit You plan on using fixed effects to estimate the model. Suppose you have a panel data set consisting of 10 individuals over 6 years. However, you are missing the last 3 years of data for the third, ż = 3, individual in your data set. Your panel data set has total observations. Suppose the reason individual i is missing data for certain time periods (called attrition) is correlated with the idiosyncratic error, uit. Recall that a; is assumed to be uncorrelated with the idiosyncratic error, Uit. This correlation cause the fixed effects estimators to be biased.
urgent 1.15. Consider the Supreme Court as an electorate of 9 members thatvotes yes-or-no on a variety of issues. It is customary for this electorateto use the simple majority method, and since 9 is an odd number, no tiescan result when no justices are absent. Imagine the following alternativemethod for determining Supreme Court decisions. The decision is affirmative whenever at least 3 of the first 5 justices vote to affirm. Otherwisethe decision is negative. This is just the bloc voting method, where thejustices form blocs of size 5, 1, 1, 1, and 1. (This method emulates whatwould occur if the first 5 justices were to agree to always vote as a blocand to decide among themselves how the bloc should rule.)(a) Is this method anonymous?(b) Is this method neutral?(c) Is this method monotone?(d) If you were one of the 4 justices not among the first 5, why wouldyou complain about this voting method?

Let wage denote hourly wages, educ denote years of education, and define the dummy variable: if educ > 12 D = if educ < 12 i.e. we can think of D as a dummy variable indicating graduation from high school. Suppose we want to test the null hypothesis that the marginal return to education for every year after high school is the same as the marginal return to education for each year before high school (against the alternative that they are different). Which model and test would accomplish this goal? O a. Estimate wage = B1 + B2 educ + ß3 D + e and test Ho : ß3 = B2 against H1 : ß3 # B2. O b. Estimate wage = ß1 + B2educ + ß3 D + e and test Ho : ß3 = 0 against H1 : ß3 # 0. Estimate wage = B1 + B2educ + B3(educ + D) + e and test Ho : ß3 = 62 against H1 : B3 # B2. O d. Estimate wage = B1 + B2educ + B3(D × (educ – 11)) + e and test Ho : ß3 = B2 against H : B3 # B2. c. O e. Estimate wage = Bi + B2educ + ß3(D × (educ – 11)) + e and test Ho : ß3 = 0 against H1 : ß3 + 0.
