The estimated elasticity is 1.333785=1.3338.
[pic 5]
So the elasticity is not statistically significantly different from 1.

a.
  | 1% + in X  | Y (Quit Rate) Change  | 
X2  | Adult Male Unemployment Rate  | - 0.34%  | 
X3  | Percentage of Employees Younger than 25  | + 1.22%  | 
X4  | Manufacturing Employment in Quarter t-1 to Quarter t-4  | + 1.22%  | 
X5  | Percentage of Women Employees  | + 0.80%  | 
X6  | Time Trend  | - 0.0055%  | 
b. Yes, if it is easier for adult males to lose jobs, the quit rate will -.
c. Young workers are more likely to change their jobs, to pursue greater utilities.
d. The wage probably +d by time, the higher the wage, the lower the quit rate.
e. No, because adjusted goodness of fit is a relative indicator.
f. Yes. Because we know the Betas and ts. Deduce the standard errors by [pic 6]

a.
Model: [pic 7]
Define: [pic 8]
Stata:
gen lnm=log(m2/cpi)
gen lny=log(gdp/cpi)
gen lnl=log(ltrate)
gen lns=log(tbrate)
reg lnm lny lnl
reg lnm lny lns

The long term rate elasticity is -0.0516, GDP elasticity is 0.4946.
The short term rate elasticity is -0.0255, GDP elasticity is 0.5243.
b.
Model: [pic 10]
Define: [pic 11]
Stata:
gen lnmy=log(m2/gdp)
reg lnmy lnl
reg lnmy lns
[pic 12]
  | 1% + in X  | M/Y Change  | 
l  | Long Term Interest Rate  | + 0.2149%  | 
s  | Short Term Interest Rate  | + 0.1073%  | 
According to R2 the long term rate has a higher one, so it fits better.

a.
Model: [pic 13]
Stata:
gen lny=log(output)
gen lnk=log(capital)
gen lnl=log(labor)
[pic 14]
  | 1% + in X  | Y (Output) Change  | 
K  | Capital  | + 0.1398%  | 
L  | Labor  | + 2.3284%  | 
The capital parameter is not significant, the labor parameter is significant but this is not real. Because the parameters in Cobb-Douglas Function could not be larger than 1. But in this model the R2 and F are very high, there might be multicollinearity.
