First present the equations used in the empirical test of the Heckscher-Ohlin- Vanek (HOV) model explaining all variables, vectors and matrices used. Then present both hypotheses of the HOV model and explain how they relate to the original Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson hypothesis.
You and your research partner want to use Instrumental Variable analysis to write an econometrics paper and find causal estimates. Your partner argues that because the residuals and the instrument are uncorrelated, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied. What do you tell your research partner:
a) You agree, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied by construction
b) You agree, the exogeneity requirement is satisfied by their demonstration
c) You disagree, you would need the results of the White Test to make this conclusion
d) You disagree, the exogeneity requirement cannot be tested as we do not observe the error terms
e) You cannot make any conclusions with the current information
A teacher observes that the mitterm grades of students in the class varies depending on “the number of classes that the student takes”, “the difficulty of the assignments”, and the “stress experienced by the student”. She assigns to you the task of doing a research project on this and wants you to do the following:
a. Give the project a suitable title
b. What is the research question?
c. Clearly label the variables (dependent and independent)
d. Develop three hypotheses
