In 2017, Philadelphia launched a sweetened beverage tax of 1.5 cents per ounce, raising the cost of a 2-liter soda bottle from about $1.50 to $2.50. One year later, the Philadelphia mayor wants to evaluate if this "sugar tax" improves the health status of Philadelphia Propose ONE method (i.e. difference-in-difference, instrumental variables, or regression discontinuity) to address these questions. write down its implementation details (the type of data you need, potential sources to get the data, equations) its pros and cons

States (and provinces) that have control over taxation sometimes reduce taxes in an attempt to spur economic growth. Suppose that you are hired by a state to estimate the effect of corporate tax rates on, say, the growth in per capita gross state product (GSP).(i) What kind of data would you need to collect to undertake a statistical analysis?(ii) Is it feasible to do a controlled experiment? What would be required?(iii) Is a correlation analysis between GSP growth and tax rates likely to be convincing? Explain.

(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…

Celebrity endorsement has become a popular choice in advertising due to the its originality and the celebrity’s attractiveness that make a big impact on brand awareness and customer behavior. This study analyzes the effect of celebrity endorsement on customer’s attitude toward brand as well as the effect of customer’s attitude toward brand on customer’s purchase intention in Vietnam. A survey was conducted with 306 individuals in Vietnam. After conducting the explanatory factor analysis (EFA), and multi-variable regression analysis, results indicate that customer’s attitude toward brand is positively affected by 03 factors: celebrity match-up congruence with the brand/product, celebrity trustworthiness, and celebrity expertise. Attitude toward brand also has a positive impact on customer’s purchase intention. Based on the scenario presented, answer the following questions: A) Find out Independent, Dependent, Moderating, and Mediating Variables and elaborate…
Consider the following TSLS model, where Ability is an endogenous independent variable, while Educand Age are exogenous.Stage 1 : Ability = 0 + 1 Educ + 2 Age + 3 Expr + 4 ParEduc + 5 KWW + VStage 2 : log(Wage) = 0 + 1 Educ + 2 Age + 2 Ability + UIf we use the Sargan test, the rst-stage F test and the Hausman test together to decide whether aTSLS or an OLS would be more appropriate, ll in the following blanks: at the 5% signicance level, the critical value for the Sargan test is blank, and the critical value forthe Hausman test is blank; if we blank (reject or fail to reject) the Sargan test, blank (reject or fail to reject) the rst-stageF test, and blank (reject or fail to reject) the Hausman test, then it is implied that we shall use theTSLS instead of the OLS estimation.
