http://trustedanswers.blogspot.in/2013/12/multiple-choice-answers_4107.html 1. Which of the following are used to test for the statistical significance or explanatory power of an individual variable? A) t-statistic B) p-value C) t-statistic and p-value D) R-squared E) F-statistic F) R-squared and F-statistic 2. Which of the following are used to test the statistical significance and explanatory power of all the independent variables together (i.e., the explanatory power of the model)? A) t-statistic B) p-value C) t-stastistic and p-value D) R-squared E) F-statistic F) R-squared and F-statistic 3. Which should be used to determine if an individual variable should be added to the regression model? A) Economic, business or physical theory. B) The t-statistic and p-value of the variable coefficient. C) The correlation with other variables included in the model. D) All of the above. 4. Using situation 8.2.2, what would happen to computer sales if ATC increased the advertising budget by $1000 (check units of measurement before you start to answer)? A) Sales would increase by approximately 240 units. B) Sales would increase by approximately 241 units. C) Sales would increase by approximately 24,000 units. D) Sales would increase by approximately 14,000 units. 5. Which of the following is NOT likely to occur when multicollinearity exists in a model? 8.2.1: An analyst is evaluating the demand for building and construction materials relative to the cost of borrowing or the mortgage rate in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He believes that the following model is appropriate: Y = 10 + 5X1 + 8X2, where Y is demand in $100 per capita; X1 is mortgage rate in %, and X2 equals 1 if SF, 0 if LA. 6. Given the information in 8.2.1, each additional increase of 1% in the mortgage rate will lead to an estimated average _________________ in demand for building materials, holding constant the effect of city. 7. Using the model in 8.2.1, the interpretation of the coefficient for X2 is: Holding constant the effect of mortgage rates, 8.2.2: Advanced Technology Corporation (ATC) manufactures a home computer system and has hired a market research team to analyze the potential demand for this product using historical data on sales of similar products in 66 regions of the country in conjunction with information from consumer surveys. The research firm estimated the following demand function: Q = -36,000 - 10P + 2Px + 300I + 24A - 0.01Asquared, where Q=annual demand in units, P=price of ATC computer ($), Px=price of ATC major competitor computer ($), I = average family disposable income ($100), and A = advertising by ATC ($100). 8. Using situation 8.2.2, the correct interpretation of the coefficient for Px (i.e., +2) is: 9. Suppose you review the information in situation 8.2.2 and plan to test the explanatory power of: 1. the overall model and 2. a one-tail test of the individual coefficients, both at the .05 level of significance, then what critical values would you use for your tests? The first answer refers to tests for the model; the second answer refers to the test for the individual variable coefficient.

Does democracy lead to a better environment?

Order: Reorder
Duration: 1:18
Updated: 31 Dec 2013

The relationship between democracy and environment is subject to controversy. Some scientists find that democracy has a positive impact in reducing environmental disruption. Other scholars claim that democracy tends to accelerate environmental degradation. By using deforestation rates as a proxy for environmental disruption, we suggest that both sides might be right. Our quantitative analysis has three important outcomes. First, there is evidence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between deforestation and democracy. Second, countries in democratic transition experience the highest deforestation rates, compared to non-democracies and mature democracies. Third, in explaining deforestation rates democracy has larger explanatory power than income. This last result implies that in reducing deforestation rates the emphasis should not only be on economic development but even more on democratization. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10640-010-9397-y#
