- 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 Year North Dakota 2000 2001 35 50 South Dakota 54 64 a. What is the change in the outcome for the treatment group between 2000 and 2001? 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? Explain your answer.

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.

- 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?

The South African government's distributive stance is clear given its prioritisation of social spending, which includes grants and subsidised goods. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of an in-kind subsidy versus a cash grant. Use a graphical illustration to support your arguments. [15] 18. Redistributive expenditure can take the form of direct cash transfers (grants) and/or in-kind subsidies. With references to the graphs below, discuss the merits of these two transfer types in the presence and absence of a positive externality. [14] 19. Expenditure on education and healthcare have, by far, the biggest redistributive effect in South Africa' by one estimate dropping the Gini-coefficient by 10 percentage points.
