Discuss. 4) Which one of these leaders would you want to…
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?

Suppose you are interested in studying the effect of time spent in an SAT preparation course on actual SAT score. You propose the following regression of SAT score on hours spent in preparation for SAT and family income: Y = Bo + BiX + B2X2 + u Where Y = score on SAT X₁ = time spent in studying in an SAT preparation course X₂ = income of the student's family u = error term An important assumption in the regression model with two independent variables is that E(u|x₁,x₂)=0. Assume for simplicity that the only other relevant factor (contained in the error term) that affects Y is natural ability. That is, natural ability and u are essentially equivalent in your regression. In the context of your proposed regression, this assumption assumes which of the following?
QUESTION 2 You work for a big retail chain that operates in a large number of regional markets and you want to investigate the effect of increased marketing spending on sales. You randomly select half of the markets and increase the marketing budget in these markets by 10%. The rest of the markets are allocated the same marketing budget as before. Then comparing the average sales in the markets with increased marketing budget and average sales in the remaining markets will give an unbiased estimate of the true causal effect of increased marketing spending on sales. True O False
Suppose researchers use observational data to study the effect of class size and teacher experience on student score. Which of the following is a confounding variable? Student score 0000 Family income Class size Teacher experience
A few minutes ago, Joe Doe learned that his company was having a bad year and thus merit salary increases will be smaller than expected. His division’s budget has been set and so he knows that he will receive a salary increase of $400 over his present salary. Joe Doe has also been offered a transfer to another division in the company. He is unsure of the salary situation in the other division. However, his best information leads him to conclude that if he took the new job, there is a 60% chance that he would receive a salary increase of $600 over his present salary, and a 40% chance that he would receive only a $150 increase over his present salary. To summarize, Joe Doe can either stick with his current job and get a salary increase of $400, or take a transfer to a new job and get a salary increase of either $600 with a 60% probability, or $150 with a 40% probability. Amount ($X) Value (v($X)) $0 -5 $150 -2.5 $200 -2 $300 0 $350 0.5 $400 1 $600 1.85…
