You are told that Land's End, a catalog retailer, earned an excess return (Jensen's alpha), in annualized terms, of 0.36 over the last 5 years and that it had a beta of 1.4 during the same period. Assuming that this estimate came from a quarterly regression of stock returns against a market return, and that the average annualized risk-free rate during the period was 0.044 Estimate the quarterly excess return. Estimate the intercept on the .regression Assuming that the standard error in the beta estimate is 0.35, provide the lower bound for the raw beta estimate, in a .67% confidence interval Assuming that the standard error in the beta estimate is 0.35, provide the upper bound for the raw beta estimate, in a 67% confidence interval.

Consider the following hypothetical regression, with FAIL? as a dummy variable for if a business failed in its first year (1=failed, 0=didn’t fail); LOAN is how much money, in thousands of dollars, the business got as a loan when it started; GIG? is a dummy variable for if there was a gig economy job available, such as driving for Lyft (1=available, 0=not available), and COMP is the number of existing competitors the business faced when it started. All variables are statistically significant. FAIL? = 0.63 – 0.01*LOAN – 0.08*GIG? + 0.05*COMP Answer the following: Determine the predicted value of FAIL? if the business had a $30,000 loan, there was no gig economy, and four competitors. In everyday language, what does the estimated value found in A mean? If a business gets an additional six thousand dollars in loans, how would FAIL? change? Give the “punchline” interpretation of the COMP variable: “For every additional competitor…”

2. The following data, adapted from Montgomery, Peck, and Vining (2001), present the number of certified mental defectives per 10,000 of estimated population in the United Kingdom ( y) and the number of radio receiver licenses issued (x) by the BBC (in millions) for the years 1924 through 1937. Fit a regression model relating y and x. Comment on the model. Specifically, does the existence of a strong correlation imply a cause-and-effect relationship?
