A researcher is using a panel data set on n = 1000 workers over T = 10 years (from 2001 through 2010) that contains the workers' earnings, gender, education, and age. The researcher is interested in the effect of education on earnings. Suppose you run a regression of earnings on person-specific and time-specific control variables. Can this regression be used to estimate the effect of gender on an individual's earnings or the effect of the national unemployment rate on an individual's earnings? O A. Neither effect can be estimated using this regression. OB. It can be used to estimate the effect of both gender and the national unemployment rate on an individual's earnings OC. It can be used to estimate the effect of gender on an individual's earnings, but not the effect of the national unemployment rate on an individual's earnings. OD. It can be used to estimate the effect of the national unemployment rate on an individual's earnings, but not the effect of gender on an individual's earnings.

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.
13. Collinearity in a multiple regression analysis Suppose you want to examine the effects of a training program on future earnings using the following model: earn98= 4.64 +2.376train +0.371earn96 +0.366educ- 1.86 age +2.534 married (1.14) (0.43) (0.016) (0.062) (0.013) (0.4) where earn 98- 1998 earnings, in thousands of dollars train -1 if the individual participated in the training program, and =0 otherwise earn 96- 1996 earnings, in thousands of dollars educ years of education age = age, in years married-1 if the individual is married, and -0 otherwise Suppose that there is a high degree of correlation (but not perfect) between earnings in 1996, education, age, and marital status. True or False: We should be concerned about this high degree of correlation because it affects our ability to reliably estimate the impact of the training program on 1998 earnings, T. True False

A guidance counselor wants to determine if there is a relationship between a student's number of absences, x, and their grade point average (GPA), y. The data that were collected are displayed in the scatterplot and the least-squares regression line was calculated. One student with 2 absences has a GPA of 1.8. This point is circled on the graph. GPA and Absences 4.8 4.4 4.0 3.6 3.2 2.8 2.4 2.0 1.6 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Absences (Days) What effect does the circled point have on the standard deviation of the residuals? This point will increase the value of the standard deviation of the residuals because it has a large positive residual. This point will increase the value of the standard deviation of the residuals because it has a large negative residual. This point will not affect the value of the standard deviation of the residuals because it has a large positive residual. This point will decrease the value of the standard deviation of the residuals because it has a large negative residual.…
Suppose a national survey of women was conducted in the years 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, and 1984. Suppose the survey data from each year is pooled to create a pooled cross-sectional data set consisting of 13,000 observations. A researcher wants to use these data to estimate a multiple linear regression model using OLS to explain the number of children born to a woman during this time period. To do this, she regressed number of kids born to a woman on education, age, ethnicity, and dummy variables for the years 1974, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, and 1984. For example, if an observation comes from the year 1974, y74 would equal 1, while the remaining dummy variables for other years would equal 0. The regression output is provided below with corresponding standard errors in parentheses: kids = -7.731+ 0.19y74 - 0.09y76 - 0.06y78 – 0.08y80 – 0.42y82 – 0.65y84 – 0.135educ + 0.277age - 0.0055age? +0.88black (3.101) (0.171) (0.171) (0.182) (0.188) (0.175) (0.173) (0.20) (0.111) (0.001)…
Suppose you examined blood of 36 patients with the aim to study the relation between sugar level in blood (in mg/dL) and the amount of artificial sweetener (measured in grams). Your regression shows: blood=7.1 + 0.4*sweatener - 0.2*female. a)What is the most precide interpretation of the estimated coefficient for sweetener? b)What is the most precide interpretation of the estimated coefficient for the constant?
(Don't accept answers from Chat-GPT)You are estimating the following simple linear regression model: Edui = B0 + B1 MomEdu + ui. Where Edu is the years of schooling of an individual and MomEdu is the years of education of the individual's mother (Note: We might estimate this sort of regression to learn about intergenerational transmission of economic success.) a. Suppose you restrict your sample to individuals with MomEdui = 10 What happens to the OLS estimates? b. Suppose you have two random samples of size 100, both with the same In the first sample, half of the mothers have 12 yearsof education and half have 14 years of education. In the second sample, one quarter of of the mothers have each of 10, 12, 14. and 16 years of education. Does the variance of the OLS estimator differ between the two samples? Explain why or why not. C. Suppose you estimate the above regression using a random sample of 100 observations. Then you find another random sample of 100 with the same as the…
Consider the population regression of log earnings [Y;, where Y,= In(Earnings,;)] against two binary variables: whether a worker is married (D₁, where D₁;= 1 if the th person is married) and the worker's gender (D2;, where D₂;= 1 if the th person is female), and the product of the two binary variables Y₁ = Po+B₁D₁+P₂D2i + P3 (D₁¡ × D₂i) + Hi- The interaction term: O A. indicates the effect of being married on log earnings. B. does not make sense since it could be zero for married males. C. allows the population effect on log earnings of being married to depend on gender. D. cannot be estimated without the presence of a continuous variable.
Suppose you run the following regression: outcome=alpha0 + alpha1*female + alpha2*married + epsilon. You know that female equals 1 for females and 0 otherwise. You know that married equals 1 if the person is married and 0 otherwise. What is the estimated outcome for non-married respondents who are not female?
Investigate what factors determine the number of times a person logs into Facebook per week. It is argued that these four factors are important: number of friends, age in years, whether the person is employed, and whether the student has a Twitter account. That is: FACEBOOK LOGIN=f(FRIENDS,AGE,EMPLOYED,TWITTER) Name two irrelevant explanatory variables that should not be included in the regression. Note that these two variables currently should NOT feature in the regression.
