Question 1 (a) (4 points) What are they key advantages of the Logit model over the Linear Probability Model? (b) (15 points) In class we saw that efficient estimates of the coefficients from a linear regression model can be obtained under the presence of heteroskedasticity using Generalized Least Squares (GLS). How does GLS work? That is, describe the mechanism through which GLS addresses non-constant error variances to achieve efficient estimation. (c) (5 points) Let Zi be the log-odds ratio in...
Consider the following simple regression model: where the e, are independent errors with E(ed-0 and var(et)-Ơ2X? a. In this case, would an ordinary least squares regression provide you with the best b. c. linear unbiased estimates? Why or why not? What is the transformed model that would give you constant error variance? Given the following data: y = (4,3,1,0,2) and x = (1,2,1,3,4) Find the generalized least squares estimates of β1 and β2 (Do this by hand! Not with excel)
Consider the regression model y=β0+β1x1+β2x2+u Suppose this is estimated by Feasible Weighted Least Squares (FWLS) assuming a conditional variance function Varux=σ2h(x). Which of the following statements is correct? A) The function h(x) does not need to be estimated as part of the procedure B) If the assumption about the conditional variance of the error term is incorrect, then FWLS is still consistent. C) FWLS is the best linear unbiased estimator when there is heteroscedasticity. D) None of the above answers...

25. Suppose you are looking at data which is supposed to fit an exponential equation, i.e. a model of the form y= Cekz where C and k are constants. Suppose your data points are (2, 5), (3,8) and (4, 17). Use least-squares to find (decimal approximations to) the values of C and k which best fit this model How to proceed: First, take the natural log of both sides of the model to obtain what is called...
1. Table of descriptive statistical measures (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, smallest value and largest value) for the variables in the model with a detailed discussion of the table2. The equation is in the community form of the model you reached, then display the results of the estimated equation from the Gretl program with errors. Standard normal as well again with proper standard errors.3. Discuss and explain the results of the estimated model and then the number of reasons why the...
