Consider the following linear probability model of loan approvals. Interpret the coefficients on Black and Loan_amt in
Question:
Consider the following linear probability model of loan approvals.
Interpret the coefficients on Black and Loan_amt in the OLS model in Figure 1.
Test the hypothesis that the coefficients on Black and Hispanic is equal. The Var(βblack −βHispanic)= 0.00142395.
Why is heteroskedasticity present in the model? Outline the steps that should be taken to correct the model for heteroskedasticity.
There are 35 observations with predicted values under 0, or over 1. Is this a problem and how do we overcome it?
A WLS model’s output is shown in Figure 2. What are its advantages and how can we observe that from the Stata output? The t-test using WLS for (2) is now -1.734, does this change your conclusion in (2)?
