You are interested in analyzing how rent controls affect students' housing outcomes. You collect information from a random sample of 350 counties across the US. Let on_campus summarize the share of undergraduate students in the county that live on campus. Let rent_control be an indicator variable equal to 1 if the county has rent controls and zero if it does not. These are the descriptive statistics for your sample: rent_control = 0.1 on_campus = 0.18 sample variance of rent_control = s²rent_control = 0.3 sample variance of on_campus = s². = 0.2 on_campus

In a hypothetical country called Tritonland, demand and supply of fish are determined by the following system of equations: Q Q = 3+P+v, where Q and P stand for quantity and price respectively, and that u and v are independent Uniform [0, 2]. Suppose we have i.i.d. observations (Qi, Pi)_1 from n markets in equilibrium. Answer the next few questions. = 15 P+u,
Sampling variation refers to a situation when there is uncertainty associated with a parameter estimate. researchers arrive at the precisely correct answers. different random samples lead to somewhat different estimates. there is variability across observations.
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.

Both the OLS and the Random Effects estimators are not consistent. The OLS estimator is not consistent, but the Random Effects estimator is consistent. The OLS and the Random Effects estimator are consistent. All of the above. None of the above

Suppose the amount of change IWU students carry is exponentially distributed with a mean of $0.88. Suppose that we randomly pick 25 IWU students and learn how much change they have. What type of distribution does the population, which is the change carried by IWU students, follow? What are the mean and standard deviation of the population? (6 points) What type of distribution does the sample mean follow? What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean? (6 points) Find the probability that the average change of 25 IWU students was between $0.80 and $1.00. Graph the situation, shade in the area to be determined, and find the probability. (6 points)
The management of a large firm would like to know something about employee morale and the other variables to which it may be related. To study these relationships, each employee in a simple random sample of 27 employees is interviewed and tested to obtain information concerning morale level and the average number of satisfying extra work social contacts experienced during a week. Whether or not the duties the employee usually performs are appropriate to the job title is also determined. The dependent variable Y is measure of morale, the quantitative independent variable, X1 is average number of social contacts, and the following dummy variable coding is used to quantify the qualitative variable: X₂ = 1 if yes, X₂ = 0 if no. The model including dummy variable and the interaction term was being estimated and a part of computer outputs is below:
If x; and y; are positively correlated in the sample then the estimated slope is a. equal to zero b. greater than zero c. less than zero d. equal to one
A 30-team league had HACT = 0.2!6 and a theoretical maximum of HMAX= 0.36 . Calculate the normalised variance and briefly comment on whether the league is more competitive or uncompetitive.
Scenario 38-1. Consider the following OLS model applied to the data for workers wages and years of schooling, where e; stands for the residual: WAGE = -10.7+3.16 x SCHOOL + e. (20.7) (1.35) Refer to Scenario 38-1. Suppose that the residual term has a zero mean and is uncorrelated with the independent variable. According to the estimated model, each year of schooling decreases a worker's wage by $3.16. 000 decreases a worker's wage by $10.7. increases a worker's wage by $3.16. increases a worker's wage by $10.7.
