Consider the following two models relates education to wage:

log(wage) = β0 + β1educ + u

log(wage) = β0 + β1educ + β2sibs + e

where wage denotes monthly wage; educ is the education level measured by

year; and sibs is the number of siblings. Let βe1 denotes the estimator of β1

from the simple regression, and βb1 denotes the estimator from the multiple

regression.

(a) Suppose educ and sibs are positively correlated in the sample, and sibs

has negative effects on log(wage), would you expect βe1 and βb1 to be very

different? If yes, which one will be larger? Explain your answer in detail.

(b) Suppose educ and sibs are positively correlated in the sample, and sibs has

no effects on log(wage), would you expect βe1 and βb1 to be very different?

If yes, which one will be larger? Explain your answer in detail.

to be very different? If yes, which one will be larger? Explain your answer

in detail.

Requires no charts or data to answer, just explanations, thank you!

4. Consider the model for demand for housing: Log Q = β0 + β1 log P + β2 log Y + u Where Q = measure of quantity of housing consumed by each of 3, 120 families per year P = price of unit of housing in family's locality Y = measure of family income The estimated model, (with standard errors in parentheses) is: Log Q = 4.17 - 0.247 log P + 0.96 log Y R2 = .371 (0.11)...

In the following model, “white” is a dummy indicating a person is a white: wage=β0+β1edu+β2white+u If you run this model, the regression will produce two regression lines, one for white and the other for non-white. If you run the regression without the dummy wage=β0+β1edu+u separately for white and for non-white (for example, if there are 1000 people; 500 of them are white and 500 are non-white; run the regression of wage on edu for the 500 white and then run...
