Econometrics - Sheet 2A - MR - 2024

The document provides examples of multiple linear regression problems. It includes sample regression equations and data with questions asking to estimate values, interpret results, and test hypotheses about the coefficients and models. It also provides information about demand for roses with a multiple linear regression model relating quantity of roses sold to price, income, trend over time.

SHEET 2 (A): PROBLEMS


MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION MODEL

1. If we have the following original data about Y, 𝑿𝟐 , 𝑿𝟑 , for 5 observations:

∑ 𝑋2=0 ∑ 𝑋32 =15


∑ 𝑋22 =10 ∑ 𝑌𝑋3=14
∑ 𝑌𝑋2=-5 ∑ 𝑌=10
∑ 𝑋3=7 ∑ 𝑌 2 =24 ∑ 𝑋2 𝑋3=4

Where:
Y: the degree
𝑥2 : The hours of practice.
𝑥3 : the level of the intellect.

a) Estimate the linear regression equation.


b) Predict the degree of a certain labour who has hours of practice equal =3, level of
intellect=5.
c) Estimate 𝜎 2 .
d) Estimate the standard error of the vector 𝛽.
e) Construct the ANOVA table and test the overall significance of regression.
f) Calculate 𝑅 2 , and interpret your result.
g) Do you think that it is necessary to add 𝑋3 to the regression model?

2. In an application of the Cobb-Douglas production function the following


results were obtained:

ln Yˆi = 2.3542 + 0.9576 ln X 2i + 0.8242 ln X 3i


(0.3022) (0.3571)

R 2 =0.8432 , 𝑐𝑜𝑣(𝛽̂2 , 𝛽̂3) = 0.0576 df = 12

Where Y= output, X2= labor input, and X3= capital input, and where the figures in
parentheses are the estimated standard errors.

1
a) Interpret slope coefficients.
b) Test the hypothesis that the slope coefficients are individually equal to unity.
c) Test the hypothesis that the slope coefficients are equal.
d) How would you test the overall significance of the preceding regression equation?

3. If the estimated linear regression equation of the following production


function as follow:

Log Y= Constant – 0.519 Log 𝑋2- 4.933 Log 𝑋3


(Se) (0.231) (0.477) 𝑅 2 = 0.793

𝑋2= labour input 𝑋3= capital input


N= 30

a) Interpret the numbers of the estimated equation.


b) Test the significance of each coefficient.
c) Test the significance of the overall regression.
d) Does the model fit the data?
e) Can we say something about the returns of scale in this industry? Explain?

The variables are as follows: Y: quantity of roses sold, dozens. X2: average wholesale
price of roses, $/dozen. X3: average wholesale price of carnations, $/dozen. X4: average
weekly family income, $/week. X5: trend variable taking values of 1, 2 and so on, for the
period 2012-III to 2016-II in Metro Detroit Area.

1- Write the regression line and interpret your result.


2- Estimate the variance and the standard deviation of the error term.
3- Test the significance of each individual coefficient.
4- Is the whole model statistically significant?
