Question
The GDP of U.S. from 1950 to 2010 belongs to what kind of data?
A.Pooled Cross Sections
B.Cross-Sectional Data
C.Time Series Data
D.Panel data
Theory gives you the following relationship between variables X and Y,
y=b1+b2x+u
You collect a sample of data on n=4 sample members. The data are {x1, y1}={2, 8}, {x2, y2}={-1, 10}, {x3, y3}={3, 6}, {x4, y4}={4, 0}.
What are your estimation of b and b1 ?
A.9.43 and -1.71
B.7.64 and -1.11
C.8.10 and -2.25
D.6.25 and -3.76

What is your prediction for y when x=10?
A.-5.10
B.-5.62
C.-7.71
D.-9.91
Explanation / Answer
Ans 1)
If it is all about GDP for more than one country for year from 1950 to 2010 then it is called Pooled data but now in this case it is time series data
Ans 2)
Mean of Y=(8+10+6+0)/4=6
Mean of X=(2-1+3+4)/4=2
Sum(Y-Y_)*(X-X_)=(0-12+0-12)=-24
Sum(X-X_)^2=(0+9+1+4)=13
b2=Sum(Y-Y_)*(X-X_)/Sum(X-X_)^2=-24/13=-1.71
b1 is Mean of Y-b2*Mean of X=6-(-1.71)2=9.42
Hence Option 1 is correct
Ans 3)
When X=10 then Y=
=9.42+(-1.71)(10)=-7.71(Approximately)
Option C is correct
