23. An education economist estimated the wage equation to determine the rate of return to an additional year of education and obtained ln(WAGE) = -0.5220+0.1075×EDUC. it is anticipated that ability ( attributes, such as intelligence, creativity, perseverance and industriousness) is positively correlated with UDUC. If a measure of a bility is omitted from the model the estimated return to education A. Is biased downwards B. Is biased upwards C. Cannot be estimated D. All the above
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 we are interested in evaluating the impact on wages of being a college graduate and of residing in California. To this end we define the following dummy variables if college graduate if not college graduate coll = ncoll = if not college graduate if college graduate 1 cali = if residing in California S 1 if not residing in California ncali = if not residing in California if residing in California and for wages denoting yearly wages, we estimate the following model of returns to education wages = B1 coll+ B2ncoll + B3 cali + B4(coll x cali) + e where E[e|coll, cali] = 0. Which parameter or combination of parameters measures the increase in expected wages from obtaining a college degree (comparing to not having a college degree) when residing California? O a. None of the other options is correct O b. Bi – B2 O c. B1 – B2 + ß4 O d. B4 O e. Bi + B3 – ßi – B4 O f. Bi + B4 – ß2 – B4 Clear my choice
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. Hint: you should mention two stages.
Suppose the researcher considers the following model : Wage = Bo+B,Female + u, and runs OLS, using wage data on 250 randomly selected male workers and 280 female workers. The researcher has obtained the estimated equation as Wage = 15 (1.00) 3 Female, R = 0.05. (0.5) In the equation, Wage is measured in dollars per hour, Female is a binary variable that is equal to 1 if the person is a female and O if the person is a male. The numbers in the parentheses are the standard errors of the coefficients. Which Statement is NOT correct? The coefficient of Female, -3.00, is statistically significant at 5%. O The p-value for the test that Ho: B = 0, H : B 0 is less than 0.05. This regression may suffer omitted variable bias. R Since insignificant. is too low, the wage difference between men and women is The researcher can increase R- by including more regressors in the model.

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
