Multiple Choice

In the regression model $Y _ { i } = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } X _ { i } + \beta _ { 2 } D _ { i } + \beta _ { 3 } \left( X _ { i } \times D _ { i } \right) + u _ { i }$ where X is a continuous variable and D is a binary variable, $\beta _ { 2 }$

• A) is the difference in means in Y between the two categories.
• B) indicates the difference in the intercepts of the two regressions.
• C) is usually positive.
• D) indicates the difference in the slopes of the two regressions.
