Suppose that X represents the number of years a person goes to school, and Y represents the income they earn after finishing those years of school. Year of schooling is widely believed to be a major determinant of income. Explain whether this correlation is likely to be casual or not.
Exercise 4.
Mary is investigating the determinants of house prices in 90 cities. She gathers information on house
value in log (Inhseval), the size of the house (sizehse), and income per capita in log (Inincome). She
also gathers information on the property tax rate, specifically if cities have the low property tax rate
(less than 2.5%), or the high property tax rate (2.5% or more). She runs the following regression:
Ln(hseval;)= a + B₁(sizehse;) + B2 (income)+ &;
And then she separates the regression by low and high property tax rate.
The results of her regression analysis are given in the tables below.
Regression results: Dependent variable is Ln(hseval;)

Suppose that X represents the number of years a person goes to school, and Y represents the income they earn after finishing those years of school. Years of schooling is widely believed to be a major determinant of income. The correlation between education and earnings is positive. Explain whether this correlation is likely to be causal or not.

- Assume that the averages of all factors other than educ have remained constant over time and that the average level of education is 12.2 for the 1972 sample and 13.3 in the 1984 sample.Using the estimates in Table 13.1, find the estimated change in average fertility between 1972 and 1984.

The store orders ice cream from a distributor a week ahead; if the store orders too little, it loses business, and if it orders too much, the extra must be thrown away. The manager believes that a major determinant of ice cream sales is temperature (i.e., the hotter the weather, the more ice cream people buy). Using an almanac, the manager has determined the average daytime temperature for 10 weeks, selected at random, and from store records he has determined the ice cream consumption for the same 10 weeks. These data are summarized as follows: a. Develop a linear regression model for these data and forecast the ice cream consumption if the average weekly daytime temperature is expected to be 85 degrees. b. Determine the strength of the linear relationship between temperature and ice cream consumption by using correlation.arrow_forward1.
