To investigate the impact of wage on the number of workers employed two models of labour demand are estimated for German firms. Model 1 is a multivariate model with labour employed (L) function of output (Q) and average wage (W) with all variables measured in logs : L = -0.85 +0.97 × Q - 1.04 × W Model 2 is a univariate model with labour employed (L) function of average yearly wage (W) with all variables measured in logs : L = 13.38 1.27 x W Select the terms from the drop down lists to complete the sentence below correctly: The coefficient of the wage variable in Model 1, -1.04, is the when other things are not kept equal when the firm is unionised overall partial decreasing optimum labour employed and it measures the relative change in labour demand due to a relative increase in wage ceteris paribus when output is declining impact of wage on

State the Ordinary Least-Squares assumptions of the regression model with one regressor.
Literacy rate reflects the educational facilities and quality of education available in a country, and mass communication plays a large part in the educational process. To relate the literacy rate of a country to various mass communication outlets, a demographer has proposed to relate literacy rate to the following variables: News = number of daily newspaper copies (per 1000 population) Radio = number of radios (per 1000 population) TV = number of TV sets (per 1000 population). The regression model to estimate the literacy rate (?̂ ) is below: ?̂= 0.5149 + 0.0005*News - 0.0003* TV + 0.002* Radio Answer the following questions: 4.1) Interpret the coefficient value of the TV variable in the model. 4.2) Predict the literacy rate for a country that has 200 daily newspaper copies (per 1000 in the population), 800 radios (per 1000 in the population), and 250 TV sets (per 1000 in the population). Show a detailed solution to support your answer.
Describe the recommended approach towards determining model specification.How does the R2 help in determining an appropriate model? Is theideal model the one with the highest R2? Should a regressor be included in the model if it increases the model R2?
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.
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.].

Suppose that an economist has been able to gather data on the relationship between demand and price for a particular product. After analyzing scatterplots and using economic theory, the economist decides to estimate an equation of the form Q= aPb, where Q is quantity demanded and P is price. An appropriate regression analysis is then performed, and the estimated parameters turn out to be a = 1000 and b = - 1.3. Now consider two scenarios: (1) the price increases from $10 to $12.50; (2) the price increases from $20 to $25. a. Do you predict the percentage decrease in demand to be the same in scenario 1 as in scenario 2? Why or why not? b. What is the predicted percentage decrease in demand in scenario 1? What about scenario 2? Be as exact as possible.
From a local town record, information is gathered about workers' wages and their educational achievements. You are interested in exploring a possible relationship between the rate of change in workers' wages and the number of education years completed. a. Write down a model (not an estimated equation) that implies percentage changes (or relative changes) in wage due to changes years of education. Indicate which parameter measures the relative change in worker's wage
Ted Cordaro is an analytics consultant who has been brought into a large distribution company to perform data mining tasks on some of the data from their data warehouse. Ted has been specifically tasked with assisting the Human Resources, Sales and Marketing departments with building predictive models. Two datasets have been provided to Ted for analysis. The first dataset includes past and present employee information and the HR department would like Ted to build a predictive model to predict employee retention. The second dataset includes marketing campaign information and the Marketing department would like Ted to build a predictive model to predict monthly sales. Finally, the Sales department would like Ted to use the second dataset, using past sales data to predict future sales. Use the information provided to answer the questions that follow. The Human Resources department has their own departmental Data Warehouse, created from the main Enterprise Data Warehouse, that stores…
