Q: Suppose that a linear probability model is to be fit to a

Suppose that a linear probability model is to be fit to a set of observations on a dependent variable y that takes values zero and one, and a single regressor x that varies continuously across observa...

Q: In Example 8.5, we have suggested a model of

In Example 8.5, we have suggested a model of a labor market. From the “reduced form” equation given first, you can see the full set of variables that appears in the model—that is the “endogenous varia...

Q: Construct the Lagrange multiplier statistic for testing the hypothesis that all the

Construct the Lagrange multiplier statistic for testing the hypothesis that all the slopes (but not the constant term) equal zero in the binomial logit model. Prove that the Lagrange multiplier statis...

Q: A data set consists of n = n1 + n2 + n3

A data set consists of n = n1 + n2 + n3 observations on y and x. For the first n1 observations, y = 1 and x = 1. For the next n2 observations, y = 0 and x = 1. For the last n3 observations, y = 0 and...

Q: In the panel data models estimated in section 17.7,

In the panel data models estimated in section 17.7, neither the logit nor the probit model provides a framework for applying a Hausman test to determine whether fixed or random effects is preferred. E...
