Econ7015-8015: Topics in Applied Econometrics Assignment/Report Due:Week 10, 7AM, Monday 12th October 2020 Instructions: • Write your assignment using R Markdown and submit it along with your assignment submission file. The assignment file must be in PDF format. • Submit both your files through the assignment submission link on iLearn. • Note: Late assignments will be accepted up to 96 hours after the due date and time, but there will be a deduction of 10% of the total awarded marks for each 24 hour period late or part thereof that the submission is late (for example, 25 hours late in submission – 20% penalty). This penalty does not apply for cases in which an application for Special Consideration is made and approved. • All questions carry equal marks. Assignment Questions A survey was conducted in 1977 and 1989 to evaluate " A working mother can establish just as warm and secure of relationship with her child as a mother who does not work". 2293 respondents participated in this survey and stored in a file name "gsskidvalue.csv" and the responses were recorded as: 1 = strongly disagree (SD), 2 = disagree (D), 3 = agree (A), and 4 = strongly agree (SA). Data for following variables were also recorded from the respondents. opinion: respondents opinion towards the survey statement (SD, D, A, SA) yr89: survey year 1989. male: male = 1, 0 for female. white: white = 1, 0 for non-white. age: age in years. ed: years of education. 1 prst: occupational prestige. (a) Provide a summary of your data. (b) Obtain a summary table that shows sample proportion between the categories opinionand male. Comment on your results. (c) Estimate the ordered logit and probit models with dependent variable opinion as a function of male (no intercept) and provide your output. (d) Is the estimates of male significant in both models? Test at 1% significance level. (You don’t need to carry out a hypothesis test ) (e) Using both models, calculate the probability for each of the alternatives for male=1 and male=0 and comment on your results. (f) Estimate ordered logit and probit models with the dependent variable opinion as a function of explanatory variables, male, white, age, ed and prst. Provide summary results for both models. (g) Are all coefficients in both models individually significant at 5% significance level? comment. (h) Use the likelihood ratio (LR) test and test the overall significance of both models and comment on your results. (i) Obtain odds ratios for the logit model and comment. (j) Use both models to predict the outcome (opinion) for a male white person when the rest of the variables are at their mean values. Do you find any significant differences in the predicted values between the two models? (k) Make a prediction for the 2292th observation in our sample data which has the following information : male=0 , white=1 , age=55 , ed=14 and prst=36 . Compare your results with the actual response and comment. 2 (l) Obtain marginal effects for each of the variables and interpret its values for the variable age. Comment on your results. (m) How similar are both models in terms of making predictions for ordinal outcome? would you prefer one model over the other? why or why not? END 3
