- In this question, you will test relative purchasing parity (PPP) using the data. Use yearly data from FRED website from 1971 to 2020: (i) The Canadian Dollars to U.S. Dollar Spot Exchange Rate (ER) (ii) Consumer price index for Canada (CAN_CPI), and (iii) Consumer price index for the US (US_CPI). Inflation is measured by the consumer price index (CPI). The relative PPP equation is: AE CAN$/US$ ECAN$/US$ = π CAN - πUS Submit the Excel sheet that you worked on. 1. First, compute the percentage change in the exchange rate (left-hand side of the equation). Caculate the variable for each year from 1972 to 2020 in Column E (named Change_ER) of the Excel sheet.

- Joy's Frozen Yogurt shops have enjoyed rapid growth in northeastern states in recent years. From the analysis of Joy's various outlets, it was found that the demand curve follows this pattern: Q=200-300P+1201 +657-250A +400A; where Q = number of cups served per week P = average price paid for each cup I = per capita income in the given market (thousands) Taverage outdoor temperature A competition's monthly advertising expenditures (thousands) = A; = Joy's own monthly advertising expenditures (thousands) One of the outlets has the following conditions: P = 1.50, I = 10, T = 60, A₁ = 15, A; = 10 1. Estimate the number of cups served per week by this outlet. Also determine the outlet's demand curve. 2. What would be the effect of a $5,000 increase in the competitor's advertising expenditure?

- 4. The data set BWGHT.DTA contains data on births to women in the United States. Two variables of interest are the dependent variable, infant birth weight in ounces (bwght), and an explanatory variable, average number of cigarettes the mother smoked per day during pregnancy (cigs). The following simple regression was estimated using data on n=1,388 births: bwght=119.77 - .514 cigs (i) What is the predicted birth weight when cigs = 0? What about when cigs=20 (one pack per day)? Comment on the difference. (ii) Does this simple regression necessarily capture a causal relationship between the child's birth weight and the mother's smoking habits? Explain. (iii) To predict a birth weight of 125 ounces, what would cigs have to be? Comment. (iv) The proportion of women in the sample who do not smoke while pregnant is about .85. Does this help reconcile your finding from part (iii)?arrow_forwardGiven the demand equation Q following table (using Excel): = 1,500 200P, calculate all the numbers necessary to fill in the Elasticity P Q Point Arc Total Revenue Revenue Marginal $7.00 6.50 6.00 5.50 5.00 4.50 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50arrow_forwardSuppose a firm has the following demand equation: where Q = quantity demanded P = product price (in dollars) Q=1,000 3,000P + 10A A = advertising expenditure (in dollars) Assume for the following questions that P =3$ and A = $2,000. 1. Suppose the firm dropped the price to $2.50. Would this be beneficial? Explain. Illustrate your answer with the use of a demand schedule and demand curve. 2. Suppose the firm raised the price to $4.00 while increasing its advertising expenditure by $100. Would this be beneficial? Explain.
