- The slope parameter ß1 measures the change in annual salary, in thousands of dollars, when return on equity increases by one percentage point. Because a higher roe is good for the company, we think ß1 > 0.The data set CEOSAL1 contains information on 209 CEOs for the year 1990; these data were obtained from Business Week (5/6/91). In this sample, the average annual salary is $1,281,120, with the smallest and largest being $223,000 and $14,822,000, respectively. The average return on equity for the years 1988, 1989, and 1990 is 17.18%, with the smallest and largest values being 0.5% and 56.3%, respectively.Using the data in CEOSAL1, the OLS regression line relating salary to roe is :arrow_forwardFor the population of people in the workforce in 1976, let y = wage, where wage is measured in dollars per hour. Thus, for a particular person, if wage = 6.75, the hourly wage is $6.75. Let x = educ denote years of schooling; for example, educ =12 corresponds to a complete high school education. Because the average wage in the sample is $5.90, the Consumer Price Index indicates that this amount is equivalent to $24.90 in 2016 dollars.Using the data in WAGE1 where n = 526 individuals, we obtain the following OLS regression line (or sample regression function):arrow_forwardDefine the following: Callable bond Puttable bond Zero-coupon bond Premium bond Discount bond Crossover bonds Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments.
