Econometrics? I have to do a research project this semester in Econometrics and I need help picking a topic. The ideas I had seem a bit too hard and I now would like to try and find an economic theory that can easily be tested or discredited using data. I have already read about.com's ideas about Okun's Law and the prime rate and consumption and would like to try something different than those. I am looking for a well-known theory that I can apply econometrics to easily. PLease help!

How do i solve this econometrics problem of heteroskedasticity? Consider the following simple savings model: saving = b +b1 income + u (*) ( | ) Var (u/ income) =(SXincome) (**) Since the variance of u is different for different values of income, there is heteroskedasticity. Transform the population model above, i.e., transform (*) to get a model in which the error terms have constant variance, i.e., they are homoskedastic.

In Econometrics f-test what does the k stand for in the equation and what is it and why in this question? Using ten years of monthly data a researcher uses Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis to estimate the relationship between the return on a stock, the FTSE Allshare Index and the Dividend Yield on the company. The following equation is reported (the standard errors of the coefficient estimates are given in brackets); lnR = -0.00256 + 0.60214 lnFTSE – 0.09321 lnDIVY (0.0321) (0.0832) (0.0310) Using the equation F = (Rsquared/k-1) / (1-Rsquared/n-k) Thank you

econometrics multiple regression, does it matter if i remove the constant? have problems with a final regression i have constructed, all my variable individually are significant at the 5% level however when i bring them together they become insignificant, i have removed one variable which got rid of most of the multcollineararity that create the problem but i still have ones variable which is being made insignificant by the constant in my regression so what i'm asking is if i remove the constant to make all the variables significant does it mean anything am i breaking some kind of rule?
Can somebody explain what the f-test in econometrics is used to explain? What does the f-test try to explain, as i understand it, it attempts to explain the combined influence of a mutlitle regression model on Yi. To be honest i dont have aclear understanding, so i need some help.
i have to come up with a model for my econometrics project. is this correct? causes of unemployment = [ real wage unemployment, stuctural unemployment, frictional unemployment, demand deficient unemployment, hidden unemployment]. if that isn't correct cld u suggest on how i can improve the model? and if it is correct cld u suggest where i can get the info? the model can be based on any country i like. thanks a bunch!
Is there a consensus in the econometrics literature on the effects of gun control policies on crime? Links to some papers, preferably meta-analysis (which would incorporate many studies) would be ideal. Studies using data from outside the US would be nice too (in addition to the many that use US data only). Remember, I'm just wondering about the level of econometric consensus (if any) not so much the moral issue/constitutional issue/etc...
Shot in the dark. Anyone good with econometrics? I'm looking at a multiple regression model using natural logarithms for the x's. I understand what the betas mean (they are the elasticities), except for beta-1 (b1-the intercept). Here's the equation: yi=b1+b2*ln(xi2)+b3*ln(xi3)+...+b7*ln(xi7)+ei I just need to know what b1 means. I meant that all the b's except b1 are elasticities....Which would be why I'm asking if anyone can figure this out... I have the data and I know the value of b1, so that's not the issue. The ln(xi) are needed because I need to know the % changes of yi in terms of the % changes of xi. Logically b1 would be the % of production (yi) if all the ln(xi)=0 (or all other b's=0), but that doesn't make any sense, so it can't be right. I need to know what b1 means, not its value.

Introduction to Econometrics 2e by Stock (International Edition) same as US edition? I was thinking of buying the international edition of Introduction to Econometrics by Stock for my econometrics course because it is cheaper than the US edition, but I'm not sure if it is exactly identical to the US edition. I've had an international edition before, and the review questions were different than in the US book although the text was all the same. Does anyone know if this one is identical? Thanks!

Econometrics trade off between Endogenity Bias and Multicollinearity? since cov(x1, u) is not equal 0, because say, x2 is omitted, but when x2 is added in the model, does the model in turn suffers from multicollearity? assume that correlation(x1,x2) is greater than 0.8 if there is a case, how do we deal with this? thanks
What r squared values in econometrics are considered low medium and high for cross section and time series? for example i know that the rsquared values for cross section data that are lower are considered just as good a higher times series values. e,g is 0.56r^2 for cross section data just as good as 0.96r^2 for time series? cheers

Introductory econometrics, is it a hard course ? Please answer asap, I need to know if this course is hard. Thank You.
econometrics help--is this multicollinearity or something else? Suppose we have our dependent variable, Y, and two groups of independent variables X and Z. Both X and Z are determinants of Y, but we also believe that Z might be a determinant of X ( but not the other way ). Is this a case of multicollinearity or is it something else? How can I address this?

So here's a basic econometrics question that has always bothered me.? I know that the E(u|x1,x2)=0 means that on average the unobservables will be the same across all combinations of x1 and x2...But what does it mean if E(u|x1,x2) does not equal zero? What if it equals 1 or 3? What does this mean literally?
