Q1Domain Verified
When conducting a difference-in-differences (DiD) analysis to evaluate a policy change, which of the following is the most critical assumption for the internal validity of the estimated treatment effect?
The stable unit treatment value assumption (SUTVA), which implies no interference between units.
The exclusion restriction, which requires that the instrument affects the outcome only through the treatment variable.
The exogeneity assumption, which requires that the error term is uncorrelated with the independent variables.
The parallel trends assumption, which states that the treatment and control groups would have followed similar paths in the absence of the treatment.
Q2Domain Verified
In the context of an economic research project, what is the primary purpose of conducting a power analysis during the design phase?
To estimate the minimum sample size required to detect a meaningful effect with a given probability.
To ensure the research question has sufficient policy relevance to justify the project.
To determine the statistical significance of the main results after data collection.
To validate the internal consistency of the survey instrument using Cronbach's alpha.
Q3Domain Verified
A researcher is concerned that their OLS estimates of a policy's impact may be biased due to omitted variable bias. Which of the following approaches would be the LEAST effective in directly addressing this specific concern?
Using panel data and employing a fixed effects model to control for time-invariant unobservables.
Employing an instrumental variable (IV) approach to isolate exogenous variation in the policy variable.
Conducting a robustness check by calculating the correlation between the main independent variable and the regression residuals.
Collecting and incorporating a more comprehensive set of control variables into the regression.
