#%Last, the researchers hopes to understand how GDP influence birth rates. They theorize that perhaps countries with higher gross domestic product will invest more in women’s schooling. If more women know how to read, they hypothesize, then those women may have fewer children (due to better birth control knowledge, higher career aspirations, etc). The researchers add a variable measuring the percentage of women who can read to the regression equation. The results are presented in Equation 3 of Table 1.

Table 1. OLS Regression Coefficients Representing Influence of Economic Output (GDP) and Control Variables on Total Fertility Rate

	Equation 1	Equation 2	Equation 3
Gross Domestic Product per Capita (x 1000)	-.033 (.000)	-.033 (.000)	-.007 (.141)
Population size		-.0000000784 (.378)	-.0000000773 (.063)
Percentage of Women who can Read			-.043 (.000)

Y-intercept (Constant)	3.36	3.39	6.47

R²	.207	.213	.657

(Significance level in parentheses)

Question 1 What conclusion should the researcher draw about the focal relationship when comparing Equation 3 to Equation 2? (For this question, you should reference specific numbers that you are using to draw your conclusion.)

Researchers studied the infant mortality rates in 1970 in n = 101 countries across four regions using multiple linear regression. The response is an infant mortality rate index. Two predictors were considered by the researchers: • Income index: a numeric predictor of the average income of each country. • Region: a categorical predictor of the region of the country with 4 categories: Africa (baseline), Americas (North and South America), Asia (Asia and Oceania), and Europe. The R output of the...

Researchers are interested in how environment and interaction effects influence intelligence. In a colony of laboratory rats that are reared in an enriched environment (e.g. they have a varying number of toys, problem-solving activities, and food options) the variance in maze-solving time amongst individual rats is 5 min2. From this colony, they have also derived three inbred lines for low, medium and high intelligence. When individuals from these different inbred lines are reared together under strict uniform laboratory control conditions...

Now that you understand what GDP is and how it is calculated do you think it is a good measure of economic activity. Make sure you reference any problems you may have with Real versus Nominal GDP. Just for your information a very big discussion is currently underway concerning Real versus Nominal GDP as a target of economic policy. If any takes intermediate Macroeconomics we will spend time examining that issue.

Both China and India have averaged around 7% GDP growth rates over the last 5 years while the US and Japan have averaged around 2%. The population growth rates for the US and China and Japan are all under 1% (.5% for China, .8% for the US, and −.1% for Japan) while India’s is 1.2% (also relatively modest). Discuss these facts in the context of a Solow-Swan growth model, clearly explaining your reasoning.
