The Second-Stage in an Instrumental Variable Approach to Control for Measurement

question 24

Multiple Choice

The second-stage in an instrumental variable approach to control for measurement error in an independent variable is

• A)estimating the original population regression model with the predicted values of the mis-measured variable substituted for the observed values of the endogenous variable.
• B)regressing the mis-measured variable on only the exogenous variables in the original regression equation and using those estimates to calculate predicted values of the mis-measured variable.
• C)regressing the mis-measured variable on only the alternative value of the mis-measured variable.
• D)regressing the mis-measured variable on both the alternative measure of the mis-measured variable and all of the remaining exogenous variables and using those estimates to calculate predicted values of the mis-measured variable.

Mixers

Devices or software used to blend or combine different audio tracks into a single sound output.

Average Fixed Cost

The fixed costs of production divided by the quantity of output produced. It decreases as production increases.
