In the December, 1969, American Economic Review (pp. 886-896), Nathanial Leff reports the following least squares regression results for a cross section study of the effect of age composition on savings 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 of the population under 15, D2 = percentage of the population over 64, and G = growth rate of per capita income. Are these results correct? Explain..

Past class data has shown that the regression line relating the final exam score and the midterm exam score for students who take statistics from the College of Information Technology and Engineering from Dr. Kalaw is: final exam = 50 + 0.5 × midterm One interpretation of the slope is a. students only receive half as much credit (.5) for a correct answer on the final exam compared to a correct answer on the midterm exam. b. a student who scored 0 on the midterm would be predicted to score 50 on the final exam. c. a student who scored 10 points higher than another student on the midterm would be predicted to score 5 points higher than the other student on the final exam. d. a student who scored 0 on the final exam would be predicted to score 50 on the midterm exam.
What is the functional form of this equation? What are the advantages and limitations of this functional form? Interpret precisely the coefficients of Px and Py in the regression.
The measure of standard error can also be applied to the parameter estimates resulting from linear regressions. For example, consider the following linear regression equation that describes the relationship between education and wage: WAGEi=β0+β1EDUCi+εi where WAGEi is the hourly wage of person i (i.e., any specific person) and EDUCiEDUCi is the number of years of education for that same person. The residual εiεi encompasses other factors that influence wage, and is assumed to be uncorrelated with education and have a mean of zero. Suppose that after collecting a cross-sectional data set, you run an OLS regression to obtain the following parameter estimates: WAGEi=−12.3+4.4 EDUCi If the standard error of the estimate of β1 is 1.29, then the true value of β1 lies between (2.465, 3.11, 3.755, 1.82) and (5.69, 6.98, 5.045) . As the number of observations in a data set grows, you would expect this range to (INCREASE OR DECREASE) in size.
A manufacturer is developing a facility plan to provide production capacity for its factory. The amount of capacity required in the future depends on the number of products demanded by its customers. The data below reflect past sales of its products: Year Annual Sales (number of products) Year Annual Sales (number of products) 1 490 5 461 2 487 6 475 3 492 7 472 4 478 8 458 Use simple linear regression to forecast annual demand for the products for each of the next three (3) years, by using the tabular method to: derive the values for the intercept and slope derive the linear equation plot the linear regression line develop a forecast for the firm’s annual sales for each of the next three years
True or False For a linear regression model including only an intercept, the OLS estimator of that intercept is equal to the sample mean of the independent variable.
