The time for the exam is approaching and I guess some of you may have questions. I will be in office monday, wednesday and thursday next week if you want to come by and ask them. However, If you want the best answer you should email me your question first so that I can be prepared.

I got some questions about the OLS assumptions in the multiple linear regression model. As I chose to depart a bit from the book I decided to post a short note on the OLS assumptions here.

in question a. it should be "Discuss the internal validity of the regressions that you used to answer empirical exercise add.E8.2(i)" instead of "Discuss the internal validity of the regressions that you used to answer Empirical Exercise 8.3(i)".

Please note that we have made the following changes to the Lecture Plan:
- The 2 lectures on 23 February have been cancelled due to illness.
- The lecture on 2 March at 8.15 will be about chapter 7 of Stock and Watson.
- The lecture on 2 March at 12.15 will be about chapter 8 of Stock and Watson.
Exercise 4.5 d ii) says:
"Compute the estimated gain in score for a participant who is given an additional 5 minutes on the exam."
what it is meant to say is:
"Compute the estimated gain in score for a participant who is given an additional 5 minutes of nap time."
Slides for session 2 and 3, and a suggested do-file for session 3 is online.
Exercise 6.5 d) should be: Compute the adjusted R2 for the regression.
The solutions to the odd‐numbered end‐of‐chapter exercises of Stock and Watson are posted on http://wps.aw.com/aw_stock_ie_3/178/45691/11696965.cw/index.html.
Please note that this is a preliminary version of the solution set and it contains quite some mistakes/typos. The correct solutions to the selected exercise set will be given during the seminars.
The lecture slides are dated based on the last time they were updated and not on the day they were lectured. This is to make it easy for you to check whether you have the last updated version of your slides.

I have uploaded a note showing how I solved the FOC of the OLS regression.
The other mathematical proofs I will go through in the next lecture.

The list with seminar exercises is available on the website. The first seminar is in week 7.
Welcome to the start of ECON4150. The lectures start monday morning at 8.15 and both the lecture slides for the morning lecture and the afternoon lecture is posted. Please remember that the stata course also starts this week.
