計量經濟學期末考
日期：2008年6月19日 9:00~12:00
1. Suppose that we to estimate the effect of several variables on annual
saving and that we have a panel data set on January 31, 1990, and January 31,
1992. If we include a year dummy for 1992 and use first diffencing, can we
also include age in the original model? Explain.
2. In order to determine the effects of collegiate athletic performance on
applicants, you collect data on applications for a sample of Division I college
for 1985, 1990, and 1995.
(a) What measures of athletic success would you include in an equation? What
are some of the timing issues?
(b) What other factors might you control for in the equation?
(c) Write an equation that allows you to estimate the effects of athletic
success on the percentage change in applications. How would you estimate this
equation? Why would you choose this method?
3. Let grad be a dummy variable for whether a student-athlete at a large
university graduates in five years. Let hsGPA and SAT be high school grade
point average and SAT score, respectively. Let study be the number of hours
spent per week in an organized study hall. Suppose that, using data on 420
student-athletes, the following logit model is obtained:
capP(grad = 1|hsGPA, SAT, study) = A(-1.17 + 0.24hsGPA + 0.00058SAT +
0.073study) where A(z) = exp(z)/[1 + exp(z)] is the logit function. Holding
hsGAP fixed at 3.0 and SAT fixed at 1,200; compute the estimated difference in
the graduation probability for someone who spent 10 hours per week in study
hall and someone who spent 5 hours per week.
4. Consider a family saving function for the population of all families in the
United States:
sav = b0 + b1*inc + b2*hhsize +b3*educ + b4*age + u
Where hhsize is household size, educ is years of education of the household
head, and age is age of the household head. Assume that E(u|inc, hhxize, educ,
age) = 0. (這裡好像打錯了，應該是hhsize)
(a) Suppose that the sample includes only families whose head is over 25 years
old. If we use OLS on such a sample, do we get unbiased estimators of the bj?
Explain.
(b) Now, suppose our sample includes only married couples without children. Can
we estimate all of the parameters in the saving equations? Which ones can we
estimate?
(c) Suppose we exclude from our sample families that save more that $25,000 per
year. Does OLS produce consistent estimators of the bj?
5. Suppose you are hire by a university to study the factors that determine
whether students admitted to the university actually come to the university.
You are given a large random sample of students who were admitted the previous
year. You have information on whether each student chose to attend, high school
performance, family income, financial aid offered, rave, and geographic
variables. Someone says to you, "Any analysis of that data will lead to biased
results because it is not a random sample of all college applicants, but only
those who apply to this university." What do you think of this criticism?
