C15.1 Use the data in WAGE2.RAW for this exercise. (i) In Example 15.2, using sibs as an instrument for educ, the IV estimate of the return to education is .122. To convince yourself that using sibs as an IV for educ is not the same as just plugging sibs in for educ and running an OLS regression,
15.11 Consider a simple time series model where the explanatory variable has classical measurement error: yt 0 1x t * ut xt xt * et , (15.58) where ut has zero mean and is uncorrelated with xt * and et . We observe yt and xt only. Assume that et has zero mean and is uncorrelated with xt
15.10 In a recent article, Evans and Schwab (1995) studied the effects of attending a Catholic high school on the probability of attending college. For concreteness, let college be a binary variable equal to unity if a student attends college, and zero otherwise. Let CathHS be a binary variable
15.9 Suppose that, in equation (15.8), you do not have a good instrumental variable candidate for skipped. But you have two other pieces of information on students: combined SAT score and cumulative GPA prior to the semester. What would you do instead of IV estimation?
15.8 Suppose you want to test whether girls who attend a girls’ high school do better in math than girls who attend coed schools. You have a random sample of senior high school girls from a state in the United States, and score is the score on a standardized math test. Let girlhs be a dummy
15.7 The following is a simple model to measure the effect of a school choice program on standardized test performance (see Rouse [1998] for motivation): score 0 1choice 2 faminc u1,where score is the score on a statewide test, choice is a binary variable indicating whether a student
15.6 (i) In the model with one endogenous explanatory variable, one exogenous explanatory variable, and one extra exogenous variable, take the reduced form for y2, (15.26), and plug it into the structural equation (15.22). This gives the reduced form for y1: y1 0 1z1 2z2 v1. Find the j
15.5 Refer to equations (15.19) and (15.20). Assume that u x, so that the population variation in the error term is the same as it is in x. Suppose that the instrumental variable, z, is slightly correlated with u: Corr(z,u) .1. Suppose also that z and x have a somewhat stronger correlation:
15.4 Suppose that, for a given state in the United States, you wish to use annual time series data to estimate the effect of the state-level minimum wage on the employment of those 18 to 25 years old (EMP). A simple model is gEMPt 0 1gMINt 2gPOPt 3gGSPt 4gGDPt ut , where MINt is
15.3 Consider the simple regression model y = B0 + B1X + u
15.2 Suppose that you wish to estimate the effect of class attendance on student performance, as in Example 6.3. A basic model is stndfnl 0 1atndrte 2 priGPA 3ACT u, where the variables are defined as in Chapter 6. (i) Let dist be the distance from the students’ living quarters to
15.1 Consider a simple model to estimate the effect of personal computer (PC) ownership on college grade point average for graduating seniors at a large public university: GPA 0 1PC u, where PC is a binary variable indicating PC ownership. (i) Why might PC ownership be correlated with u?
C14.10 Use the data in AIRFARE.RAW for this exercise. We are interested in estimating the model log(fareit) t 1concenit 2log(disti ) 3[log(disti )]2 ai uit, t 1,..., 4, where t means that we allow for different year intercepts. (i) Estimate the above equation by pooled OLS, being
C14.9 The file PENSION.RAW contains information on participant-directed pension plans for U.S. workers. Some of the observations are for couples within the same family, so this data set constitutes a small cluster sample (with cluster sizes of two). (i) Ignoring the clustering by family, use OLS to
C14.8 Use the data in MATHPNL.RAW for this exercise. You will do a fixed effects version of the first differencing done in Computer Exercise C13.11. The model of interest is math4it 1y94t ... 5y98t 1log(rexppit) 2log(rexppi,t1) 1log(enrolit) 2lunchit ai uit, where the first
C14.7 Use the state-level data on murder rates and executions in MURDER.RAW for the following exercise. (i) Consider the unobserved effects model mrdrteit t 1execit 2unemit ai uit, where t simply denotes different year intercepts and ai is the unobserved state effect. If past
C14.6 Add the interaction term unionitt to the equation estimated in Table 14.2 to see if wage growth depends on union status. Estimate the equation by random and fixed effects and compare the results.
C14.5 (i) In the wage equation in Example 14.4, explain why dummy variables for occupation might be important omitted variables for estimating the union wage premium. (ii) If every man in the sample stayed in the same occupation from 1981 through 1987, would you need to include the occupation
C14.4 In Example 13.8, we used the unemployment claims data from Papke (1994) to estimate the effect of enterprise zones on unemployment claims. Papke also uses a model that allows each city to have its own time trend: log(uclmsit) ai ci t 1ezit uit, where ai and ci are both unobserved
14.6 Using the “cluster” option in the econometrics package Stata®, the fully robust standard errors for the pooled OLS estimates in Table 14.2—that is, robust to serial correlation and heteroskedasticity in the composite errors, {vit: t 1,...,T}—are obtained as se(ˆ educ) .011,
14.5 Suppose that, for one semester, you can collect the following data on a random sample of college juniors and seniors for each class taken: a standardized final exam score, percentage of lectures attended, a dummy variable indicating whether the class is within the student’s major,
14.4 In order to determine the effects of collegiate athletic performance on applicants, you collect data on applications for a sample of Division I colleges for 1985, 1990, and 1995. (i) What measures of athletic success would you include in an equation? What are some of the timing issues? (ii)
14.3 In a random effects model, define the composite error vit ai uit, where ai is uncorrelated with uit and the uit have constant variance u 2 and are serially uncorrelated. Define eit vit v¯i , where is given in (14.10). (i) Show that E(eit) 0. (ii) Show that Var(eit) u 2, t 1,
4.2 With a single explanatory variable, the equation used to obtain the between estimator is y¯i 0 1x¯i ai u¯i , where the overbar represents the average over time. We can assume that E(ai ) 0 because we have included an intercept in the equation. Suppose that u¯i is uncorrelated
14.1 Suppose that the idiosyncratic errors in (14.4), {uit: t 1,2, …, T}, are serially uncorrelated with constant variance, u 2. Show that the correlation between adjacent differences, uit and ui,t1, is .5. Therefore, under the ideal FE assumptions, first differencing induces negative
C13.12 Use the data in MURDER.RAW for this exercise. (i) Using the years 1990 and 1993, estimate the equation mrdrteit 0 1d93t 1execit 2unemit ai uit, t 1,2 by pooled OLS and report the results in the usual form. Do not worry that the usual OLS standard errors are inappropriate
C13.11 The file MATHPNL.RAW contains panel data on school districts in Michigan for the years 1992 through 1998. It is the district-level analogue of the school-level data used by Papke (2005). The response variable of interest in this question is math4, the percentage of fourth graders in a
C13.10 For this exercise, we use JTRAIN.RAW to determine the effect of the job training grant on hours of job training per employee. The basic model for the three years is hrsempit 0 1d88t 2d89t 1grantit 2granti,t1 3log(employit) ai uit. (i) Estimate the equation using first
C13.9 Use CRIME4.RAW for this exercise. (i) Add the logs of each wage variable in the data set and estimate the model by first differencing. How does including these variables affect the coefficients on the criminal justice variables in Example 13.9? (ii) Do the wage variables in (i) all have the
C13.8 VOTE2.RAW includes panel data on House of Representative elections in 1988 and 1990. Only winners from 1988 who are also running in 1990 appear in the sample; these are the incumbents. An unobserved effects model explaining the share of the incumbent’s vote in terms of expenditures by both
C13.7 Use GPA3.RAW for this exercise. The data set is for 366 student-athletes from a large university for fall and spring semesters. (A similar analysis is in Maloney and McCormick [1993], but here we use a true panel data set.) Because you have two terms of data for each student, an unobserved
C13.6 Use CRIME3.RAW for this exercise. (i) In the model of Example 13.6, test the hypothesis H0: 1 2. (Hint: Define 1 1 2 and write 1 in terms of 1 and 2. Substitute this into the equation and then rearrange. Do a t test on 1.) (ii) If 1 2, show that the differenced equation can be
C13.5 Use the data in RENTAL.RAW for this exercise. The data for the years 1980 and 1990 include rental prices and other variables for college towns. The idea is to see whether a stronger presence of students affects rental rates. The unobserved effects model is log(rentit) 0 0y90t
C13.4 Use the data in INJURY.RAW for this exercise. (i) Using the data for Kentucky, reestimate equation (13.12), adding as explanatory variables male, married, and a full set of industry and injury type dummy variables. How does the estimate on afchngehighearn change when these other factors are
C13.3 Use the data in KIELMC.RAW for this exercise. (i) The variable dist is the distance from each home to the incinerator site, in feet. Consider the model log( price) 0 0y81 1log(dist) 1y81log(dist) u. If building the incinerator reduces the value of homes closer to the site, what
C13.2 Use the data in CPS78_85.RAW for this exercise. (i) How do you interpret the coefficient on y85 in equation (13.2)? Does it have an interesting interpretation? (Be careful here; you must account for the interaction terms y85educ and y85female.) (ii) Holding other factors fixed, what is the
C13.1 Use the data in FERTILI.RAW for this exercise. (i) In the equation estimated in Example 13.1, test whether living envi- ronment at age 16 has an effect on fertility. (The base group is large city.) Report the value of the F statistic and the p-value. (ii) Test whether region of the country at
13.7 (i) Using the data in INJURY.RAW for Kentucky, the estimated equation when afchnge is dropped from (13.12) is log(durat) 1.129+.253 highearn + .198 afchnge-highearn (0.022) (.042) (.052) n = 5,626, R2 = .021. == Is it surprising that the estimate on the interaction is fairly close to that in
13.6 In 1985, neither Florida nor Georgia had laws banning open alcohol containers in vehi- cle passenger compartments. By 1990, Florida had passed such a law, but Georgia had not. (i) Suppose you can collect random samples of the driving-age population REVIEW in both states, for 1985 and 1990. Let
13.5 Suppose that we want to estimate the effect of several variables on annual sav- ing and that we have a panel data set on individuals collected on January 31, 1990, and January 31, 1992. If we include a year dummy for 1992 and use first differencing, can we also include age in the original

13.3 Why can we not use first differences when two years (as opposed to panel data)? have independent cross sections in
13.2 Using the data in KIELMC.RAW, the following equations were estimated using the years 1978 and 1981: and == log(price) 11.49.547 nearinc+ .394 y81-nearing = (.26) (.058) n = 321, R2 = .220 (.080) log(price) 11.18+.563 y81.403 y81-neart (.27) (.044) n = 321, R2 337. TRALOR CLASSRO So have to in
13.1 In Example 13.1, assume that the average of all factors other than educ have remained constant over time and that the average level of education is 12.2 for the 1972 sample and 13.3 in the 1984 sample. Using the estimates in Table 13.1, find the estimated change in average fertility between

C12.5 Consider the version of Fair's model in Example 10.6. Now, rather than predict- ing the proportion of the two-party vote received by the Democrat, estimate a linear prob- ability model for whether or not the Democrat wins. (i) Use the binary variable demwins in place of demvote in (10.23) and
C12.3 (i) In part (i) of Computer Exercise C11.6, you were asked to estimate the accelerator model for inventory investment. Test this equation for AR(1) (ii) If you find evidence of serial correlation, reestimate the equation by Cochrane-Orcutt and compare the results.
C12.2 (i) Using the data in WAGEPRC.RAW, estimate the distributed lag model from Problem 11.5. Use regression (12.14) to test for AR(1) serial correlation. Reestimate the model using iterated Cochrane-Orcutt estimation. What is your new estimate of the long-run propensity? (iii) Using iterated CO,

12.6 In Example 12.8, we found evidence of heteroskedasticity in u, in equation (12.47). Thus, we compute the heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors (in []) along with the usual standard errors: return, .180+.059 return,-1 (.081) (.038) [.085] [.069] n = 689, R = .0035, R = .0020. What does
12.5 (i) In the enterprise zone event study in Computer Exercise C10.5, a regression of the OLS residuals on the lagged residuals produces ˆ .841 and se(ˆ) .053. What implications does this have for OLS? (ii) If you want to use OLS but also want to obtain a valid standard error for the EZ

12.3 In Example 10.6, we estimated a variant on Fair’s model for predicting presidential election outcomes in the United States. (i) What argument can be made for the error term in this equation being serially uncorrelated? (Hint: How often do presidential elections take place?) (ii) When the
12.2 Explain what is wrong with the following statement: “The Cochrane-Orcutt and Prais-Winsten methods are both used to obtain valid standard errors for the OLS estimates when there is a serial correlation.”
12.1 When the errors in a regression model have AR(1) serial correlation, why do the OLS standard errors tend to underestimate the sampling variation in the ˆ j ? Is it always true that the OLS standard errors are too small?
C11.10 Use all the data in PHILLIPS.RAW to answer this question. You should now use 56 years of data. (i) Reestimate equation (11.19) and report the results in the usual form. Do the intercept and slope estimates change notably when you add the recent years of data? (ii) Obtain a new estimate of

C11.4 Use the data in PHILLIPS.RAW for this exercise, but only through 1996. (i) In Example 11.5, we assumed that the natural rate of unemployment is constant. An alternative form of the expectations augmented Phillips curve allows the natural rate of unemployment to depend on past levels of
C11.3 (i) In Example 11.4, it may be that the expected value of the return at time t, given past returns, is a quadratic function of returnt1. To check this possibility, use the data in NYSE.RAW to estimate returnt 0 1returnt1 2returnt 2 1 ut ; report the results in standard form. (ii)
C11.2 In Example 11.7, define the growth in hourly wage and output per hour as the change in the natural log: ghrwage log(hrwage) and goutphr log(outphr). Consider a simple extension of the model estimated in (11.29): ghrwaget 0 1goutphrt 2goutphrt1 ut. This allows an increase in

C10.1 In October 1979, the Federal Reserve changed its policy of targeting the money supply and instead began to focus directly on short-term interest rates. Using the data in INTDEF.RAW, define a dummy variable equal to 1 for years after 1979. Include this dummy in equation (10.15) to see if there
10.7 In Example 10.4, we wrote the model that explicitly contains the long-run propen- sity, 60, as gfr, = a + ope, + 8(pe-1 - pe,) + 2(pe-2-pe,) + u,, where we omit the other explanatory variables for simplicity. As always with multiple regression analysis, 0, should have a ceteris paribus
10.6 In Example 10.4, we saw that our estimates of the individual lag coefficients in a distributed lag model were very imprecise. One way to alleviate the multicollinearity prob- lem is to assume that the 8, follow a relatively simple pattern. For concreteness, consider a model with four lags:
10.5 Suppose you have quarterly data on new housing starts, interest rates, and real per capita income. Specify a model for housing starts that accounts for possible trends and seasonality in the variables.
10.4 When the three event indicators befile6, affile6, 1afdec6 are dropped from equa- tion (10.22), we obtain R2 = .281 and R2 = .264. Are the event indicators jointly signif- icant at the 10% level?
