Concept Introduction:
Money supply − Money supply refers to the monetary aggregate that goes beyond monetary base including other assets which could be less liquid in form.
M1 Money supply includes most liquid part of the money supply including physical currencies such as notes, coins, demand drafts, traveler’s checks, checkable deposits.
M2 Money supply includes along with M1, the mutual funds, time deposits and saving deposits. In comparison to M1, M2 Money supply is less liquid.

Difference-in-Difference
In the beginning of 2001, North Dakota legalized fireworks. Suppose you are interested in
studying the effect of the legalizing of fireworks on the number of house fires in North
Dakota. Unlike North Dakota, South Dakota did not legalize fireworks and continued to ban
them. You decide to use a Difference-in-difference (DID) Model. The numbers of house fires
in each state at the end of 2000 and 2001 are as follows:
Number of house fires in Number of house fires in

Show your working for full credit. (10 points)
b. Can we interpret the change in the outcome for the treatment group between 2000
and 2001 as the causal effect of legalizing fireworks on number of house fires?

Regression Discontinuity
Birth weight is used as a common sign for a newborn's health. In the United States, if a baby
has a birthweight below 1500 grams, the newborn is classified as having “very low birth
weight". Suppose you want to study the effect of having very low birth weight on the number
of hospital visits made before the baby's first birthday. You decide to use Regression
Discontinuity to answer this question. The graph below shows the RD model:

- Experiments Research suggests that if students use laptops in class, it can have some effect on student achievement. While laptop usage can help students take lecture notes faster, some argue that the laptops may be a source of distraction for the students. Suppose you are interested in looking at the effect of using laptops in class on the students' final exam scores out of 100. You decide to conduct a randomized control trial where you randomly assign some students at UIC to use a laptop in class and other to not use a laptop in class. (Assume that the classes are in person and not online) a. Which people are a part of the treatment group and which people are a part of the control group? (10 points) b. What regression will you run?
