Econometrics Practice Sheet

Introduction

Econometrics is the application of statistical methods to economic data in order to give empirical content to economic relationships. It is an important tool for economists to test the validity of their theories and predictions.

Level 1

What is an economic variable?

An economic variable is a measurable quantity that can be used to measure economic activity. Examples of economic variables include GDP, inflation rate, unemployment rate, and exchange rate.

What is a regression analysis?

A regression analysis is a statistical technique used to identify the relationship between two or more variables. It is used to estimate the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables.

Level 2

What is a linear regression?

A linear regression is a type of regression analysis in which the relationship between the variables is assumed to be linear. This means that the relationship between the variables can be described by a straight line.

What is the purpose of a regression analysis?

The purpose of a regression analysis is to identify the relationship between two or more variables and estimate the strength and direction of the relationship. It can also be used to make predictions about future values of the variables.

Level 3

What is the difference between a simple linear regression and a multiple linear regression?

A simple linear regression is a type of regression analysis in which there is only one independent variable and one dependent variable. A multiple linear regression is a type of regression analysis in which there are two or more independent variables and one dependent variable.

What is the purpose of the R-squared statistic?

The R-squared statistic is a measure of how well the regression line fits the data. It is a measure of the proportion of variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variables. A higher R-squared value indicates a better fit.
