56 Thinking about X s from this point of view You are going to be doing this for the homework The slope of these lines corresponds to b estimates in the table. Adding additional controls positively correlated to both the vote-share and GDP growth will lower the b for GDP growth. If we have many variables that are highly co-linear, often called multicollinearity, it will make coe cients smaller (and therefore less likely to be significant).

67 Inference for the entire model Before we said that R 2 is intuitively R 2 Explained Variance =.Itmakes Total Variance sense then that (1 R 2 ) is the percent of variance we haven t explained. It turns out that: F-statistic for regression F = R 2 /k (1 R 2 )/[n (k + 1)] Here k is the number of covariates (gdp, incumbent, etc.), and n is the number of observations. This will be distributed according to the F-distribution with df 1 = k, anddf 2 = n (k + 1). Lecture 20 (QPM 2016) Multivariate Regression November 14, / 44
