Suppose that you wish to estimate the effect of class attendance on student performance, as in Example
Question:
Stndfnl = β0 + β1 atndrte + β2 priGPA + β3 ACT + u,
where the variables are defined as in Chapter 6.
(i) Let dist be the distance from the students' living quarters to the lecture hall. Do you think dist is uncorrelated with u?
(ii) Assuming that dist and u are uncorrelated, what other assumption must dist satisfy to be a valid IV for atndrte?
(iii) Suppose, as in equation (6.18), we add the interaction term priGPA-atndrte:
stndnl = β0 + β1 atn.drte + β2 priGPA + β3ACT + β4 priGPA∙atndrte + u.
If atndrte is correlated with u, then, in general so is priGPA∙atndrte. What might be a good IV for priGPA∙atndrte?
