Step 1
(2) The derivative of \( y=\left(\frac{2 x-3}{x-1}\right)^{3} \) using the quotient rule is \( y' = 3\left(\frac{2x-3}{x-1}\right)^2 \cdot \frac{2(x-1) - (2x-3)}{(x-1)^2} \). The derivative of \( y=\frac{4 x^{2}-5}{3+2 x} \) using the quotient rule is \( y' = Show more…

Let $X$ be the winnings of a gambler. Let $p(i)=$ $P(X=i)$ and suppose that $$\begin{array}{l} p(0)=1 / 3 ; p(1)=p(-1)=13 / 55 \\ p(2)=p(-2)=1 / 11 ; p(3)=p(-3)=1 / 165 \end{array}$$ Compute the conditional probability that the gambler wins $i, i=1,2,3,$ given that he wins a positive amount.

Suppose $\mathbf{X}$ has a multivariate normal distribution with mean 0 and covariance matrix $$ \boldsymbol{\Sigma}=\left[\begin{array}{llll} 283 & 215 & 277 & 208 \\ 215 & 213 & 217 & 153 \\ 277 & 217 & 336 & 236 \\ 208 & 153 & 236 & 194 \end{array}\right] $$ (a) Find the total variation of $\mathbf{X}$. (b) Find the principal component vector Y. (c) Show that the first principal component accounts for $90 \%$ of the total variation. (d) Show that the first principal component $Y_{1}$ is essentially a rescaled $\bar{X}$. Determine the variance of $(1 / 2) \bar{X}$ and compare it to that of $Y_{1}$. Note that the $\mathrm{R}$ command eigen(amat) obtains the spectral decomposition of the matrix amat.

Use the data in CARD for this exercise. (i) In Table 15.1, the difference between the IV and OLS estimates of the return to education is economically important. Obtain the reduced form residuals, $\hat{v}_{2},$ from the reduced form regression educ on nearc4, exper, exper2, black, smsa, south, smsa66, reg662, ..., reg669-see Table 15.1. Use these to test whether educ is exogenous; that is, determine if the difference between OLS and IV is statistically significant. (ii) Estimate the equation by 2SLS, adding nearc2 as an instrument. Does the coefficient on educ change much? (iii) Test the single overidentifying restriction from part (ii).
