Eco 440 Assignment 2 1. Following the last assignment, the following shows a scatterplot of "experience" against "education" with a regression line superimposed. We assume the following relationship between the two variables: experience; = Bo + Bjeducation; + €;, where e; * N(0, o2). Scaterpiot of eperience versus education with regression line supetimposed Education (1) What is the independent variable? What does the independent variable correspond to in the graph? What is the dependent variable? What does the dependent variable correspond to in the graph? (2) What are Bo and 31? What do Bo and B1 correspond to in the graph? (Hint: Do we know Bo and B1?) Denote Bo and B1 as our ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates of Bo and B1. What do Bo and B1 correspond to in the graph? What are the relationships between Bo and Bo and that bewteen B1 and B1? Does Bo = Bo or B1 = B1? Are there any methods other than OLS we can use to estimate Bo and B1? Will all the methods produce the same estimates of Bo and 3?

In the December, 1969, American Economic Review (pp. 886-896), Nathanial Leff reports thefollowing least squares regression results for a cross section study of the effect of age composition onsavings in 74 countries in 1964:log S/Y = 7.3439 + 0.1596 log Y/N + 0.0254 log G - 1.3520 log D1 - 0.3990 log D2 (R2= 0.57)log S/N = 8.7851 + 1.1486 log Y/N + 0.0265 log G - 1.3438 log D1 - 0.3966 log D2 (R2= 0.96)where S/Y = domestic savings ratio, S/N = per capita savings, Y/N = per capita income, D1 = percentage ofthe population under 15, D2 = percentage of the population over 64, and G = growth rate of per capitaincome. Are these results correct? Explain..
In multiple OLS regressions, if you are using power terms to fit for nonlinearity, how do you interpret the coefficients? For example: Yi=B1+B2X+B3X^2+Ui and B2 and B3 are both significant.
Consider the regression model Yi = b0 + b1X1i + b2X2i + ui. Use approach 2from Section 7.3 to transform the regression so that you can use a t-statistic to testa. b1 = b2.b. b1 + 2b2 = 0.c. b1 + b2 = 1. (Hint: You must redefine the dependent variable in theregression.)
(Don't accept answers from Chat-GPT)You are estimating the following simple linear regression model: Edui = B0 + B1 MomEdu + ui. Where Edu is the years of schooling of an individual and MomEdu is the years of education of the individual's mother (Note: We might estimate this sort of regression to learn about intergenerational transmission of economic success.) a. Suppose you restrict your sample to individuals with MomEdui = 10 What happens to the OLS estimates? b. Suppose you have two random samples of size 100, both with the same In the first sample, half of the mothers have 12 yearsof education and half have 14 years of education. In the second sample, one quarter of of the mothers have each of 10, 12, 14. and 16 years of education. Does the variance of the OLS estimator differ between the two samples? Explain why or why not. C. Suppose you estimate the above regression using a random sample of 100 observations. Then you find another random sample of 100 with the same as the…
Consider the following case. Suppose that you have a pooled cross section data for year t (before the implementation of a program) and for year t + 1 (after the implementation of a particular program). Let Di = {0, 1} indicates enrollment of individual i in the program and Y be the outcome of interest. Write the econometric specification for a regression of Y and D using the simple difference method. Again, you must correctly specify the subscript. (a) Explain parts of the pooled cross sectin data that you will use to estimate the simple difference method. (b) Explain the assumed counterfactual in this model and the weaknesses of the assumed counterfactual.

We know that discrimination exists. It influences wages, but also many other dimensions over the life cycle which affect wages indirectly. I run OLS regression with variables wage, age, female and degree. The dependent variable is log(wage) and we replace the variables female and degree with the interaction term. However, discrimination is not included among the observed regressors. Given that omitting confounding variables from regression model can bias the coefficient estimates, omitting discrimination would lead to biased results. Could you please help me provide an example of how unobserved gender discrimination can affect my OLS estimates. [Hint: think about ways in which discrimination can invalidate OLS assumptions.].

1. Let kids denote the number of children ever born to a woman, and let educ denote years of education for the woman. A simple model relating fertility to years of education is kids = 0 + 1educ + u, where u is the unobserved error. (a) What kinds of factors are contained in u? Are these likely to be correlated with level of education? (b) Will a simple regression analysis uncover the ceteris paribus eect of education on fertility? Explain.
