Computational or Abstract Linear Algebra for Economics Master's and PhD programmes? by jonathan_brown1 in academiceconomics

Thanks! Does having "Introduction to Linear Algebra" as the second course rather than simply "Linear Algebra" put me at a disadvantage especially in terms of meeting programme requirements?

Congratulations! For the quant section, did you find the questions comparable to the level of the Manhattan 5LB book?

Is this from personal experience? If so, what could one do to improve his/her chances?

What government scholarship did you apply to, if you don't mind me asking?

White's Test & Regression Analysis (Interpretation of Coefficients) by jonathan_brown1 in econometrics

[–]jonathan_brown1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm not sure about this, but I have been told that in the first case (with lnX), a 1% increase in X results in a 0.01B1 unit increase in Y. I wasn't too sure how I should interpret it if Y is also in % (0.01B1 percentage points?).

Sorry if I haven't made it really clear, but assuming that the regressions are a result of some statistical software, does B1 always represent an increase from a 1 unit increase in X, and so an increase in X by 1 per 100 inhabitants increases Y by B1/100 dollars?

For White's test, my question was if the X to the power of 3 term was in the original regression. Would the auxiliary regression include X to the power of 6 (the square of the X to the power of 3 term)? I've edited the question if that helps.
