Consider the following model of trade between the us and other countries, indexed by i:

log importsi = +1.03 × log gdpi − 1.67 × log distancei + .02 × englishi + ui

where imports is imports from i (in hundreds of billions), gdp is the income of country i (in hundreds of billions), distancei is the distance (in hundreds of miles) between the us and country i, and english is a dummy variable for whether the majority spoken language of i is english.

a. interpret the coefficient on log gdp, log distance and english.

b. china is 7200 miles from the us, has a nominal gdp of 12 trillion (120 hundred billion), and does not primary speak english. estimate us imports from china (remember that to go from log(x) to x you need to exponentiate).

c. suppose that one wanted to test if barriers to trade (distance or linguistic) did not matter for trade flows. i. e., one wanted to test if the coefficients on distance and english were both 0. how would one set this up if the error are homoscedastic?

Employees at a library check out books to patrons. books have an isbn and a name. the library sometimes has multiple copies of the same book. books have one or more authors. a patron is an individual who has an active (non-expired) library card. for each library card, we store the person's first and last names and their address. for each employee, we store their employee id, current salary, first and last name and their address. we also store the employee id of their current manager. each time we check out a book to a patron we need to store the date of the transaction, the employee who checked out the book to the patron, and the library card of the patron. some employees have library cards. if an employee patron turns in a book late, the fine that they pay is a percentage of their salary. some employees are authors who have library cards—they are allowed to check out as many books as they like.
