tate whether the following statements are true or false with a brief explanation: a) Logit model is estimated by minimising the sum of the squares residuals of the model. b) In difference-in-differences analysis, the assumption of ‘parallel trends’ is generally testable. c) Suppose you have estimated a model Y = 0.2 – 0.7D + 2X + 0.4X*D. Y and X are continuous variables and D is a dummy variable. If D=1, the marginal effect of X on Y is always larger, and therefore the predicted Y is always larger, than in the case where D=0. d) The first order autoregressive model can be stationary or non-stationary. e) The bias in Instrumental Variables estimator depends on the number of observations.

A. B. Consider data on births to women in the United States. Two variables of interest are the dependent variable, infant birth weight in ounces (bwght), and an explanatory variable, average number of cigarettes the mother smoked per day during pregnancy (cigs). The following simple regression was estimated using data on n = 1,388 births: bwght = 119.772 (0.572) n = 1,388, 0.514 cigs (0.091) R² = 0.0227, where standard errors are shown in parenthesis. What percent of the variation in birth weight is explained by cigs? What is the predicted birth weight when cigs = 0? What about when cigs = 20 (one pack per day)? Comment on the difference.

Please type out the correct answer ASAP with proper explanation of why true n why false within 40 50 minutes. Will give you thumbs up only for the correct answer. Thank you .... Suppose we estimate a regression model that is linear in the parameters, the sample is obtained through random sampling, is no perfect collinearity, the errors have zero conditional mean and are homoskedastic, and the sample size is large. Even under these conditions, the OLS estimators of the parameters are not normally distributed, even approximately, if the regression errors are not normally distributed. A. True B. False
