[5] Explan the economc prncple(s) underlyng the ncluson of the varable beds n model 1. Does the assocated t-statstc confrm that these prncples are at work? [5] Explan why only three of the four locaton dummes have been ncluded n model. What would happen f you tred to nclude all four? [5] Carry out an F-test to test model 1 as a restrcted verson of model, n order to test the mportance of locaton n rent determnaton. Interpret your result. [5] TURN OVER

6 QUESTION 3 [0 marks] Page 6 We have data on 53 countres n 016. Let p_local be the prce of a Bg Mac (the McDonald s hamburger) n country n local currency n 016. Let e be the exchange rate for country aganst the US dollar n 016 (that s, e s the number of unts of local currency that can be exchanged for one US dollar n 016). (a) Data on three of the 53 countres s shown n the followng table. Country Currency p_local e Inda Rupee Swtzerland Franc Brazl Real Compute the prce of a Bg Mac n each of the three countres n US dollars. On ths bass, whch of the three currences appears under-valued n 016, and whch appears over-valued? [7] The followng regresson model s estmated usng data from all 53 countres n 016 (p_usa s the prce of a Bg Mac n the USA n 016): _ log p local 1 log e u ; 1,,53 p_ usa Followng the regresson, two tests are performed.

Whch theory s beng tested by the second test? Is t rejected? [7] A further varable, gdp_rato, s generated, defned as GDP per head n the local country n US dollars dvded by GDP per head n the USA. Ths varable s added to the regresson, wth the results:. regress log_p_rato log_e gdp_rato Source SS df MS Number of obs = F(, 50) = Model Prob > F = Resdual R-squared = Adj R-squared = Total Root MSE =.8059 log_p_rato Coef.

8 QUESTION 4 [35 Marks] Page 8 A sample of 753 marred women (aged years) s drawn, and the followng characterstcs are recorded: Y: One f the woman s workng; zero f out of the labour market Cty: One f the famly lves s a large cty; zero otherwse Age: Age n years Chldren6: Number of chldren aged less than 6 years Chldren18: Number of chldren aged between 6 and 18 years old Educaton: Years of educaton Husbandhours: Husband s usual hours of work Husbandage Husband s age Husbandeduc Husband s years of educaton Two logt models are estmated, wth Y as the dependent varable. The results are shown n the followng table. The numbers n parentheses are the asymptotc standard errors. Model 1 Model Constant (0.771).364 (0.884) Cty (0.169) (0.174) Age (0.013) (0.0) Chldren (0.195) (0.199) Chldren (0.067) (0.067) Educaton 0.04 (0.038) 0.68 (0.047) Husbandhours (0.0014) Husbandage (0.0) Husbandeduc (0.035) LogL (a) (b) (c) (d) A researcher was asked to estmate the probablty of a marred woman (aged years) workng. He/she estmated a logt model, but was not sure whether a probt or lnear probablty model should have been estmated nstead. What advce can you offer? [5] Usng Model 1, consder the sgns of the coeffcents for the fve explanatory varables. Are they what you would expect? Explan your answers. [4] Usng Model 1: Test for the ndvdual sgnfcance of the fve explanatory varables. Are marred women who lve n large ctes more lkely to work than those who do not? [6] Conduct a lkelhood rato (LR) test of the jont sgnfcance of Husbandhours, Husbandage and Husbandeduc. Do these varables affect the marred woman s workng decson? [4]

9 (e) (f) Page 9 Usng Model, predct the probablty of workng for a 40 year-old marred woman who does not lve n a large cty, who has1 years of educaton, who has chldren age less than 6, who has no chldren aged between 6 and 18, whose 45 year-old husband works 40 hours per week and has 17 years of educaton. [8] Now assume that the marred woman has four optons; her choces are: 1. Work full-tme. Work part-tme 3. Self-employed (work for herself) 4. Do not work Whch model could be used to estmate the probablty of the marred woman choosng one of these optons? How would you nterpret the effect of age n such a model? [4] (g) Explan why the assumpton of Independence of Irrelevant Alternatves (IIA) mght be volated n ths stuaton. [4] END OF PAPER
