R. Amatya estimated the following logit model of birth control for 1,145 continuously married women aged 35 to 44 in Nepal:

Where:

D_i = 1 if the ith woman has ever used a recognized form of birth control, 0 otherwise

WN_i = 1 if the ith woman wants no more children, 0 otherwise

ME_i = number of methods of birth control known to the ith woman

a. Explain the theoretical meaning of the coefficients for WN and ME. How would your answer differ if this were a linear probability model?

b. Do the signs, sizes, and significance of the estimated slope coefficients meet your expectations? Why or why not?

c. What is the theoretical significance of the constant term in this equation?

d. If you could make one change in the specification of this equation, what would it be? Explain your reasoning.
