2 INSTRUCTIONS The exam ncludes 0 questons. All your answers to the multple choce questons must be marked on the answer sheet that you wll fnd n the frst page. If you want to leave any queston unanswered, choose the "Blank" opton. The answer sheet s the only part of ths exam that wll be graded. A correct answer adds ponts to the fnal grade whle an ncorrect one subtracts 1 pont. A blank answer does not add or subtract. The fnal grade s the number of ponts dvded by 4. Make sure that you checked your optons, ncludng Blank. Do not unclp the sheets. Use the blank space n the followng pages to wrte notes or to do arthmetc calculatons. YOU HAVE ONE HOUR AND A HALF TO ANSWER THIS TEST REMINDER YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE DEVICES WITH CONNECTIVITY TO THE INTERNET, INCLUDING MOBILE PHONES, TABLETS, SMART WATCHES OR MP3/4 PLAYERS Possesson of unauthorzed tems s an nfrngement of the regulatons and could result n DISQUALIFICATION from ths examnaton and the overall qualfcaton - -

3 Questons 1 to 5 correspond to the followng statement. Consder the followng demand functon for chcken meat: Yt = β1 + β Xt + β3xt3 + β4 Xt4 + ut t = 1,...,3 Where Y s the per capta consumpton of chcken (n pounds), X s the real dsposable per capta ncome (n dollars), X 3 s the retal prce of chcken per pound (n cents), X 4 s the retal prce of pork per pound (n cents). The followng OLS results, along wth the estmated varance matrx of the LS estmator, were obtaned usng a sample of US annual data, from 1990 to 013.

Accordng to the results n Model 1, what s the estmate change n the per capta consumpton of chcken meat f the real dsposable per capta ncome ncreases by $1000 dollars, remanng constant the rest of explanatory varables? (use all avalable decmals n the calculatons): A) Wll ncrease by approxmately 10.87% B) Wll ncrease by approxmately pounds. C) Wll ncrease by approxmately pounds

4 Queston. The LS estmate of the error varance s (use all avalable decmals n the calculatons): A) B) C) Queston 3. The test of the null hypothess H 0 : β 4 = 0 aganst the alternatve H1: β4 0 ndcates that: A) The null s not rejected at 1%, 5% and 10% sgnfcance levels. B) The null s rejected at the 5% level, but t s not rejected at 10% C) The null s rejected at the 5% level, but t s not rejected at 1% Queston 4. Testng the null hypothess H0 : β3 = β4 aganst the alternatve H : β β concludes that: (Note: Prob = and Prob = 0.995) A) The null s rejected at the 5% level, but t s not rejected at 1% B) The null s rejected at both, 1% and 5% sgnfcance levels. C) The null s rejected at the 5% level, but t s not rejected at 1% Queston 5.

5 Questons 6 to 8 correspond to the followng statement. To fnd out f there s any relatonshp between teacher s pay and per pupl expendture n publc schools, Table 1 shows the LS regresson results of a regresson relatng the average annual teacher salary n thousands of dollars (Salary) as a functon of the spendng on publc schools per pupl n thousands of dollars (Expendture) for the 51 states of the US n Table 1 Dependent Varable: Salary Least Squares N= 51 Varable Coeffcent Std. Error t-statstc p-value Constant Expendture R-squared Mean of dependent Var Sum of squared Resduals S.D. of dependent Var F(1,49) p-value (F) Akake crteron Schwarz crteron Lookng for evdence about dfferences between three geographcal regons n the US: Northeast and North Central (1 states), South (17 states) and West (13 states), we defned three dummy varables: D1, whch s equal to 1 f the state s n the West, and equal to 0 otherwse; D whch s equal to 1 f the state s n the Northeast and North Central regon, and equal to 0 otherwse; and D3 whch s equal to 1 f the state s n the South, and equal to 0 otherwse. Addng these varables to the prevous model yelds the results shown n Table

Error t-statstc p-value Constant D D Expendture R-squared Mean of dependent Var Sum of squared Resduals S.D. of dependent Var F(3,47) p-value (F) Akake crteron Schwarz crteron Queston 6. Accordng to Tables 1 and, whch of the followng statements s FALSE? A) If the expendture n publc schools s $1000, the estmated Salary of a teacher n the West regon s about $16558, the estmated Salary of a teacher n the Northeast/North Central regon s about $14884 and the estmated Salary of a teacher n the South s about $15414 B) The Salary of the teachers n the South s statstcally dfferent from that of the teachers n the West at the 5% level, but t s not statstcally dfferent at 1%, assumng that Expendture s the same for both regons. C) The value of the statstc computed to test whether the Salary of the teachers n publc schools s the same n the three regons n the US s equal to.19 (roundng to two decmals places). As Prob [ F(, 47) 3.19] = 0.95, the prevous hypothess cannot be rejected at the 5% level of sgnfcance

7 Queston 7. Accordng to Tables 1 and : A) Table shows that, when Expendture s zero, the estmate Salary of the teachers n the South and the Northeast and North Central regons s negatve, so there mght be a mstake n the model. B) The reward for extra Expendture on publc Schools are much hgher for the teachers n the West regon. C) Assumng that the per pupl expendture n the publc schools s the same, the estmated Salary of the teachers n a state n the Northeast and North Central regon s lower than that of the West regon by $ Queston 8. Table 3 shows the estmated covarance matrx for the LS parameter estmates n Table : Table 3 Constant D D3 Expendture Constant D D Expendture If Prob [ t(47) 0.690] = , Prob [ t(47) ] = and assumng that the expendture per pupl n the publc schools s the same n the three regons, whch of the followng statements s TRUE? A) The hypothess that the teacher salary on publc schools n the South s not statstcally dfferent from that of teachers n the Northeast and North Central cannot be rejected, nether at 5% nor at 1% level of sgnfcance, because the correspondng t-statstc s (roundng at two decmal places). B) The hypothess that the teacher salary on publc schools n the South s not statstcally dfferent from that of teachers n the Northeast and North Central - 7 -

8 cannot be rejected, nether at 5% nor at 1% level of sgnfcance, because ts t- statstc s (roundng at two decmal places). C) We wll not reject the hypothess that the teacher s salary on publc schools n the West regon s not statstcally dfferent from zero at any level of sgnfcance. Queston 9. Consder the model Y = β1+ βx + U. If the sample means of Y and ( = 1,,..., N) are postve and equal, then the LS estmate of the ntercept would be: A) Equal to zero when the LS estmate of the slope s not equal to one. B) Greater than zero when the LS estmate of the slope s greater than zero and less than one. C) Less than zero when the LS estmate of the slope s less than zero. X Queston 10. Usng a sample of n observatons, y 1, y,..., y n, a researcher wants to descrbe the behavor of the monthly Spansh GDP (Y) usng the model Y = β + β Y + β Y + U ( t = 1,,..., n). If EU [ ] = 0 and t 1 t 1 3 t t T E[ UU ] = σ I, whch of the followng regresson model assumptons s NOT fulflled by the prevous model? A) Errors are not autocorrelated. B) Parameters are constant.
