- Econometrics Thomas Eisensee and David Stromberg wanted to measure how much news coverage of a foreign disaster impacted the amount of disaster relief provided by the U.S. government. They argue that the simple relationship would be biased. Let X = Minutes of News Coverage and Y= Disaster Aid. Choose a variable X2 that could bias the simple relationship. This variable should impact the amount of coverage and impact the amount of aid for reasons other than purely news coverage. Eisensee and Stromberg introduce an instrument Z = During the Olympics. Explain how Z could satisfy the relevant and exogenous criteria. Explain how you could use Z to estimate the impact of X on Y free from X2 bias.

Estimating the variance of the error term Suppose you are interested in looking at the determinants of a worker's wage, and use the following econometric model to do so: wage=β0+β1 educ+u wage=β0+β1 educ+u where educ = years of education u = error term You take a sample of 120 individuals and collect data on each person's wage and level of educational attainment. An unbiased, observable estimator of the variance of the error term (σ2?2) is σˆ2?^2arrow_forwardSouthwest Airlines is able to keep fares low, in part because of relatively low maintenance costs on its airplanes. One of the main reasons for the low maintenance costs is that Southwest flies only one type of aircraft, the Boeing 737. However, Southwest flies three different versions of the 737. Suppose Southwest decides to conduct a study to determine whether there is a significant difference in the average annual maintenance costs for the three types of 737s used. a. State an independent variable for such a study. b. What are some of the levels or classifications that might be studied under this variable? c. Give a dependent variable for this study.arrow_forward
