|Consider the following simple regression model y= Bo + B1x1 + u and z is an instrument for x. Suppose x and z are both positively correlated with u and Corr(z,x) > 0. Then, the asymptotic bias in the IVestimator is less than that for OLS only if:a. Corr(z,u)/ Corr(z,x) = Corr(x,u).O b. Corr(z,u)/ Corr(z,x) < Corr(x,u).O c. Corr(z,u)/ Corr(z,x) # Corr(x,u).O d. Corr(z,u)/ Corr(z,x)> Corr(x,u).

The following table provides values of the function f(x,y). However, because of potential; errors in measurement, the functional values may be slightly inaccurately. Using the statistical package included with a graphical calculator or spreadsheet and critical thinking skills, find the function f(x,y)=a+bx+cy that best estimate the table where a, b and c are integers. Hint: Do a linear regression on each column with the value of y fixed and then use these four regression equations to determine the coefficient c. x y 0 1 2 3 0 4.02 7.04 9.98 13.00 1 6.01 9.06 11.98 14.96 2 7.99 10.95 14.02 17.09 3 9.99 13.01 16.01 19.02

Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?

Let kids denote the number of children ever born to a woman, and let educ denote years of education for the woman. A simple model relating fertility to years of education is: kids; = Bo + B1educ; + uż. 1. What are the parameters in the model? 2. What kinds of factors are contained in u? Are these likely to be cor- related with level of education? 3. Will a simple regression analysis uncover the ceteris paribus effect of education on fertility? Explain.
Suppose that average worker productivity at manufacturing firms (avgprod) depends on two factors, average hours of training (avgtrain) and average worker ability (avgabil): augprod = Bo+Biavgtrain + B2avgabil + u.

Which is the following is true regarding the estimated coefficient on avgtrain in the following regression avgprod=Bo + B₁avgtrain + u. Ounblased blased upwards biased downwards undetermined.

Suppose that Y is normal and we have three explanatory unknowns which are also normal, and we have an independent random sample of 12 members of the population, where for each member, the value of Y as well as the values of the three explanatory unknowns were observed. The data is entered into a computer using linear regression software and the output summary tells us that R-square is 0.85, the linear model coefficient of the first explanatory unknown is 7 with standard error estimate 2.5, the coefficient for the second explanatory unknown is 11 with standard error 2, and the coefficient for the third explanatory unknown is 15 with standard error 4. The regression intercept is reported as 28. The sum of squares in regression (SSR) is reported as 85000 and the sum of squared errors (SSE) is 15000. From this information, what is SSE/SST?
