Q: A large policy debate revolves about the causes and consequences of child labour. Extensive child labour at early ages is often considered as harmful and there is substantial theoretical and empirical interest in determining the causes for child labour. Therefore, we would like to analyze the relationship between wealth (e.g. the number of cattle or other assets) and child labour, using household data collected in several villages in rural Africa. Suppose we have data on Y and X iv where Y, is the number of hours worked by child i in village v and X, is family wealth. a) Explain how this is related to the concept of Panel Data. b) Explain how you could estimate the relationship between wealth and child labour using pooled OLS, Random Effect (RE), Fixed Effect (FE) estimators. Write down the estimation equations and the conditions needed to guarantee consistency. Compare the FE and the OLS estimators: Is either of these two estimators based on weaker assumptions than the other? c)…
The output of a solar panel (photovoltaic) system depends on its size. A manufacturer states that the average daily production of its 1.5 kW system is 6.6 kilowatt hours (kWh) for Perth conditions. A consumer group monitored this 1.5 kW system in 20 different Perth homes and measured the average daily production by the systems in these homes over a one month period during October. The data is provided here. (a) Analyse the consumer group’s data to test if the manufacturer’s claim of an average of 6.6 kWh per day is reasonable. State appropriate hypotheses, assumptions and decision rule at α = 0.10. What conclusions would you report to the consumer group? Hint: You will need to find Descriptive Statistics first.) (b) If 48 homes in the central Australian city of Alice Springs had this system installed and similar data wascollected, in order to assess whether average daily production in Alice Springs exceeded 6.6 kWh, (i) what would the alternate hypothesis be? (ii) What would be the…

Suppose you fit the first-order model y=β0+β1x1+β2x2+β3x3+β4x4+β5x5+ε to n=30 data points and obtain SSE=0.33 and R2=0.93. Complete parts a and b. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. Do the values of SSE and R2 suggest that the model provides a good fit to the data? Explain. A. No. Since R2=0.93 is close to 1, this indicates the model does not provide a good fit. Also, SSE=0.33 is fairly small, which indicates the model does not provide a good fit. B. There is not enough information to decide. C. Yes. Since R2=0.93 is close to 1, this indicates the model provides a good fit. Also, SSE=0.33 is fairly small, which indicates the model provides a good fit.
The data given below indicate the existence of a linear relationship between the x and y variables. Suppose an analyst who prepared the solutions and carried out the RI measurements was not skilled and as a result of poor technique, allowed intermediate errors to appear. The results are the following:Concentration of solution in percent (x) 10 26 33 50 61Refractive indices (y) 1.497 1.493 1.485 1.478 1.477Step 1. Carefully plot the given x and y values (from the table) on a regular graphing paper. Label then connect the points to observe a zigzag plot due to the scattered points.

Construction costs in East LA is not cheap. You want to build a simple cost estimator for construction costs, and you hope to find a useful linear relationship between cost (y) and floor space (x). You have data from a sample of four recently completed building projects: Relationship between floor space and construction costs Floor Space (000s of sq. ft.), x Construction Cost ($000s), y 20 48 35 64 25 80 40 96 Answer choices A. Since tstat is not outside the critical values of ±2.182, we can't reject the β=0 null hypothesis B. Since tstat is not outside the critical values of ±4.303, we can't reject the β=0 null hypothesis. C. Since tstat is outside the critical values of ±4.362, we can reject the β=0 null hypothesis. D. Since tstat is outside the critical values of ±3.182, we can reject the β=0 null hypothesis
