Which artist is known for their self-portraits and modeling them after Kahlo?

Under the exogeneity assumption of time series regression, which of the following statements will be true of the following model: yt = α0 + α1dt + ut?

Still using the previous model: If you hypothesize males and females might have a different willingness to vote for a candidate registered with a different political party, which interactive variable should you add to the economic model to allow you to test the hypothesis? The following economic model predicts whether a voter will vote for an incumbent school board member   INCUMBENT = b1 + b2 MALE + b3 PARTY + b4 MARRIED + b5 KIDS where INCUMBENT = 1 if the voter votes for them, 0 otherwise, MALE = 1 if the voter is a male, PARTY indicates the voter is registered with the same political party as the incumbent, MARRIED = 1 for married voters, 0 otherwise, and KIDS = is the number of school age kids living with the voter.

Durbin-Watson test is used to test:   

When we “scale down” our data from too many zeros (like billions or trillions value), it will:

Consider the following equation for household consumption expenditure: Consmptn= β0+ β1Inc + β2Consmptn-1+ u where ‘Consmptn’ measures the monthly consumption expenditure of a household, ‘Inc’ measures household income and ‘Consmptn-1’ is the consumption expenditure in the previous month. Consmptn-1 is a _____ variable.

6) Given the paper we discussed by Truman and Riddiford, please clearly state both their hypothesis for the evolution of the holometabolous lifecycle in insects and the alternate hypothesis with respect to life stage homology with hemimetabola – make sure to list all equivalent life stages.

The model: Yt = β0 + β1ct + ut, t = 1,2,…….n, is an example of a(n):

2) What is an electroantennagram? How might this technique be applied to pest management? (6 pts)
