Wooldridge, Jeffrey M.: Introductory Econometrics, South-Western College Publishing, 2000. FAQS (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS):

  1. In SEM the predetermined variable are a) Non‐stochastic variables determined exogenously b) Exogenous lagged variable c) Lagged endogenous variables d) All of above
  2. Expressing each endogenous variables as function of predetermined variable and random error term a) The structural equation b) Linear equation c) Reduced form equation

d) Simultaneous equation

  1. An equation can be identified in SEM a) If the structural equation parameter can be obtained from the reduced form statistics b) If reduced form coefficient can be obtained from their structural equation estimate c) If the underlying theory is strong d) If all variable appear only once in the model
  2. There is no unique way of estimating the parameters of SEM if the model is a) Under identified b) Over identified c) Either a) or b) d) Exactly identified

SELF EVALUATION TESTS/ QUIZZES

  1. What does it mean for a model to be identified? a) The model is theory based. b) Fit indices for the model are all satisfactory. c) An SEM program successfully produces a solution for the model. d) There exists a unique solution for every free parameter in the model. e) None of them
  2. What are some possible ways of accounting for measurement errors of observed variables in SEM?
  3. The model

Y = income I = investment T = taxes G = government expenditure u’s = the disturbance terms In the model the endogenous variables are C, I, T, and Y and the predetermined variables are G and Yt− 1. By applying the order condition, check the identifiability of each of the equations in the system and of the system as a whole. What would happen if rt , the interest rate, assumed to be exogenous, were to appear on the right-hand side of the investment
