Suppose a data file from a certain study has information for the following variables: 1. Gender- (X1) 2. Monthly income in US dollars- (Y) 3. Car ownership (own a car/does not own a car)-(X2) 4. Age (X3) From such a hypothetical data set, answer the following questions: a) Suggest how you can define dummy variables for the nominal variables gender, and car ownership b) Suggest the null and alternative hypotheses for a global F-test examining the joint significance of coefficients of the independent variables in the model E(Y)=B0 + B1X1 +B2X2 +B3X3 c) Interpret the parameters BO, B1, B2, and B3 for the model in b) above

Suppose a researcher believes that the occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes leads to increased activity in the construction industry. he decides to collect province-level data on employment in the construction industry of an earthquake-prone country, like Japan, and regress this variable on an indicator variable that equals 1 if an earthquake took place in that province in the last five years. a. Should the researcher include province fixed effects in order to control for location specific characteristics of the labor market? b. What can the researcher to control for the location effects?
Suppose you want to analyse personal consumption expenditures by using income. However, you also believe that personal consumption expenditures might vary by gender (female-male) and marital status (married-single). -By setting appropriate dummy variables, by allowing the differential effect of gender (marital status) on autonomous consumption and marginal propensity to consume to vary across two categories of marital status (gender) and derive expected personal consumption expenditures of each group
The relationship between sleep hours and overall happiness level on the next day was estimated as below in a linear format. (Happiness level is measured through a five-point scale: 1 = Extremely unhappy, 5 = Extremely happy) Overall happiness level = 0.27 * Sleep hours + 2.34 (The p-value for the coefficient of Sleep hours is 0.02.) Based on this equation, what is the expected happiness level of a person on a certain day, when he slept 7 hours the day before?
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 Admission director for a college far from mart and town believes that an inverse relationship exists between a private college's average discount rate(determined by the average amount of scholarships students receive) and the annual yield (the percentage of admitted students who actually attend). The Director's independent variable is a private college's discount rate measured as a percentage, and the dependent variable is the college's annual yield measured as a percentage. The following results were obtained for a sample of 30 private colleges: x- Discount rate(percentage) - range: 35 to 72 percent y- Annual Yield(percentage) - range: 12 o 81 percent Σxi = 1612 Σyi = 898 Σxiyi = 44,377 Σxi2 = 89,790 Σyi2 = 35,704 a.

A well-known multinational FMCG produces more than fifty products and sells them in themarket. Out of fifty products one is mineral water for drinking purpose and supplies differentsize pack bottles in the market. Product manager observed that, during hot days the sale of wateris more as compared to the normal days. He started the collection of data of weekly sale of waterand the average weekly temperature.Product manager was interested in developing a relationship between sales and temperature;therefore, he discussed and shared the following data with you. sales 7577696379807770738772738080698477727481 temperature 3236313134293235283130312935362832333233 Sale is in thousand liters and temperature is in degree Celsius.
