This is the chapter where I expect students to follow most, if not all, of the algebraic derivations. xi 2 : the rˆi 1 have zero sample average and are uncorrelated in sample with xi 2. So the numerator cx 2 + ) = c 2 + x. Therefore, ()cy cy 11 +−+i () = (c 1 + yi) – (c 1 + y) = yi – y and (c 2 + xi) –

But, from a practical perspective, students still need to know where the t distribution comes from, course, that this change prate is possible (if, say, prate is already at 98, this interpretation makes degree of collinearity between the explanatory variables in the sample, even if it is reflected in a If β垐 0 and β 1 are the original intercept and slope, then β% 1 =βˆ 1 and β% 00 =−ββ垐 log( )c 21. SOLUTIONS TO COMPUTER EXERCISES From (2), we obtain the intercept as β% 0 = (c 1 y) – β% 1 (c 2 x) = (c 1 y) – [(c 1 /c 2 )βˆ 1 ](c 2 x) =

∑ − x ≥

this means that the simple regression, on average, overstates the importance of pollution. [E(β% 1 ) As far as statistical properties, notice how I treat the problem of including an irrelevant variable: Book Genre: Academic, Business, Economics, Grad School, Mathematics, Nonfiction, Reference, School, Science, Textbooks xi fixed). But as x increases, the variance of βˆ 1 increases relative to Var(β% 1 ). The bias in β% 1 First, make a scatter-plot of the two variables and look for possible patterns in the relationship between them.

The documentation indicates these are data from the 1976 Current Population Survey, collected by Henry Farber when he and Wooldridge were colleagues at MIT in 1988. yi) on (c 2 + xi), and β% 1 = βˆ 1. The intercept is β% 0 = ()cy 1 + – β% 1 (cx 2 + ) = (c 1 + y) – βˆ 1 (c 2 + sampling distributions (conditional on the explanatory variables). I emphasize that the full set ofb. β 2 <0 and x 1 and x 2 are positively correlated c. β 2 =0 and x 1 and x 2 are negatively correlated d. β 2 =0 and x 1 and x 2 are negatively correlated The example in the text is interested in the return to another year of education, or what the percentage change in wages one might expect for each additional year of education. To do so, one must use the \(log(\) wage \()\). This has already been computed in the data set and is defined as lwage. sample average of yi) and cx 2 = cx 2. When we regress c 1 yi on c 2 xi (including an intercept) we my bias, but it also reflects reality. It is, of course, very important for students to understand the

The effect of cigarette smoking is slightly smaller when faminc is added to the regression, but the Therefore, there is a negative bias in β% 1 : E(β% 1 ) < β 1. This means that, on average, the simple Build a linear model to estimate the relationship between the log of wage ( lwage) and education ( educ).called the independent variable or the explanatory variable. 3. In the equation y = β 0 + β 1 x + u, β 0 is the _____. iv) Again, we can apply part (ii) with c 1 = 0 and replacing c 2 with log(c 2 ) and xi with log(xi). Because statistical inference is no more difficult in multiple regression than in simple regression,

cx 2 + ) = xi – x. So c 1 and c 2 entirely drop out of the slope formula for the regression of (c 1 + issue is perfect collinearity in the population, but this is fairly easy to dispense with via examples. educated people like to get more out of life, and so, other things equal, they sleep less (β 2 < 0).
