Assignment # 2 Economics 4F03 Due: November 4 (Fri), 6 p.m. Fall 2022 This assignment is worth 8 points in total. NO HANDWRITTEN WORK PLEASE. Creating Dummy (or Indicator or Binary) Variables: Find the variable sex of respondent (ecsex99). Note that it is coded 1=male and 2=female. It is much easier to interpret regression results for binary variables if they are coded 1 and 0. Lets create a new variable called male for which 1=male and 0=female. Click on Data (at top left side of window), then on Create or change data, then on Other variable- creation commands, and finally on Create indicator variables Select Sex of Respondent (ecsex99) and type male as the New variables stub. Check your work by looking at the Variables panel (scroll down to the bottom). Note that you have created two dummy variables. male1 is equal to 1 for males and 0 for females; male2 is the reverse. You can check this by entering tabulate male1 ecsex99 and tabulate male2 ecsex99 in the Command area at the bottom of the screen. Note that tab can be used as short for tabulate. Now do the same transformation for Disability Status (disabs26); name the new variable disability. Note that you have created two dummy variables. disability1 is equal to 1 for disabled and 0 for not disabled; disability2 is the reverse. You can check this by entering tab disability1 disabs26 and tab disability2 disabs26. Creating an interaction variable. Now create a new variable that will allow you to see if the effect of age depends on sex and vice-versa. For this we need to create a new variable that stands for the interaction between male and age. Click on Data (at top left side of window), then on Create or change data, and finally on Create a new variable Enter the name MaleAge as the Variable name. In the Contents of variable window, enter ecage26 male1 (in the blank box under Specify a value or an expression). Then click OK. Check the interaction variable in the list of Variables (go to end of the variables list). This new variable should take on a value = ecage26 for males and a value = 0 for females. Check by typing summarize MaleAge if male1==1 and then summarize MaleAge if male1==0. Note that sum can be used as short for summarize. 1.

What are some economic reasons why the coefficients might take on the values that they do? 1.3 (2 points) You can use your estimated coefficients to form a linear function predicting the probability of a disability for either sex at any age. Solve for this probability for the following cases: A 25-year-old male A 40-year-old female A 65-year-old male A 62-year-old female 2.
