After interviewing WWII concentration camp survivors, a researcher submits the interview transcripts to frequency counts for mentions of religious faith. A quantitative analysis is run on the resulting frequency counts. This might be considered: within-stage quantitative model across-stage quantitative model O within-stage mixed model O not enough information to determine O across-stage mixed model

In the Managerial Solution, we estimated a focus group's demand curve for iTunes downloads. The estimated coefficient on price was-413, and the 1-statistic was -12.8. nage d coe ndard Using these values, what is the standard error of this estimated coefficient? est The standard error of the price coefficient is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places) Suppose we had another focus group sample, ran a regression on that sample, and obtained the same coefficient on price but with a standard error five times as large What can you say about the statistical significance of the price coefficient in this second sample? rt A The price coefficient would be statistically significantly different than zero at the 0.05 confidence level Sulag 50,00 t-Val Stan would be would not be

Final Scores Did not Attend Sections Attended Sections 75 Raghav Absent Raghav Present 85 80 86 After really poor attendance in the final few sections, Raghav has been throw into a deep existential nightmare. He doubts the very validity of his existence and wonders if at all he can be an effective teacher. The above table gives the observable scores of students in the final exam of those who attended and did not attend section, and hypothetical scores in case students turned up for sections but Raghav was absent. Question 7 Is Raghav really effective as a teacher? Should he continue his professorial aspirations? What is his true effect? (Provide a numerical answer given the above table)
Demand can be estimated with experimental data, time-series data, or cross-section data. In this case, cross-section data appear in the Excel file. Soft drink consumption in cans per capita per year is related to six-pack price, income per capita, and mean temperature across the 48 contiguous states in the United States. Questions Howmanycans/capita/yearonsoftdrinkshouldbeforastateinwhich6-packprice=$1.95,Income/Capita=$23,500, and Mean Temp= 68 F ? Now omit the price and temperature from the regression equation.

18. Car and Taxi Ages When the author visited Dublin, Ireland (home of Guinness Breweryemployee William Gosset, who first developed the t distribution), he recorded the ages of randomlyselected passenger cars and randomly selected taxis. The ages can be found from thelicense plates. (There is no end to the fun of traveling with the author.) The ages (in years) arelisted below. We might expect that taxis would be newer, so test the claim that the mean age ofcars is greater than the mean age of taxis.

1. A study published in 1993 used US state panel data to investigate the relationshipbetween minimum wage and the employment of teenagers. The sample period was1977 to 1989 for all 50 states. The author estimated a model of the following type:ln(Eit) = β0 + β1ln(Mit/Wit) + γ2D2i + ... + γnD50i + δ2B2t + ... + δTB13t + uitwhere E is the employment to population ratio of teenagers, M is the nominalminimum wage, and W is average hourly earnings in manufacturing. In addition,other explanatory variables, such as the adult unemployment rate, the teenagepopulation share, and the teenage enrollment rate in school, were included.(a) Name some of the factors that might be picked up by time and state fixedeffects(b) The author decided to use eight regional dummy variables instead of the 49state dummy variables. What is the implicit assumption made by the author?Could you test for its validity? How?(c) The results, using time and region fixed effects only, were as follows:ˆ ln(EIT ) =…

Consider the following hypothetical pooled cross-sectional data of daily COVID-19 cases per 1,000 people during the early two months of the pandemic, from March to April 2020 in Ohio and 5 other neighboring states. The variable April takes value 1 if the recorded cases are from April 2020, and takes value 0 if the recorded cases are from March 2020. The variable lockdown takes value 1 if the state put in place a Stay-at-home order beginning from March 2020, and takes value 0 otherwise. Using the difference-in-differences estimator, assess the impact of the lockdown policy on daily COVID-19 cases. Table 1.
