Question: In the probit model given in the following table the disturbance ui has this variance: where f i is the standard normal density function evaluated

In the probit model given in the following table the disturbance ui has this variance:

Dependent Variable: I Coefficient Variable Std. Error Probability 1.0397E-07 4.8547E-08 t-Statistic 0.0572 0.00247 -1.01

P;(1 – P.) Nif? .2 r2

where fi is the standard normal density function evaluated at Fˆ’1(Pi).

a. Given the preceding variance of ui, how would you transform the model in Table 15.10 to make the resulting error term homoscedastic?

i li = Fˆ’1(PÌ‚i)

b. Use the data in Table 15.10 to show the transformed data.

c. Estimate the probit model based on the transformed data and compare the results with those based on the original data.

Dependent Variable: I Coefficient Variable Std. Error Probability 1.0397E-07 4.8547E-08 t-Statistic 0.0572 0.00247 -1.0166 0.04846 -17.7473 Income 19.5585 R? = 0.97951 Durbin-Watson statistic = 0.91384 P;(1 P.) Nif? .2 r2
