Modeling Gasoline Demand in the United States Economics 375 DePaul University‚ Chicago‚ IL 60601 June 13‚ 2012 Abstract This paper is an econometric approach to the estimation of price and income elasticities of gasoline demand in the United States from a translog model‚ and is based off of the most recent data available for use. This approach allows for variables to interact in a flexible yet instrumental way‚ providing for significant evidence that gasoline demand elasticities are construed

end of each 92-day period was reported to the police. The purpose of this report is to see if‚ and to what extent the number of accidents is reduced when speed limits are in place. Several key findings emerged from the exploratory analysis. Firstly‚ mean analysis on the number of accidents relative to the presence of speed limits suggests that limits do reduce the number of accidents. The mean number of accidents with limits was -18.9 and 18.4 in 1961 and 1962 respectively compared with 23.9

Assignment 1 1. Looking at SCORE variable‚ the skewness is -0.0511422 and excess kurtosis is 0.208336. For the normal distribution‚ skewness is zero. Since the skewness for SCORE variable is negative‚ this indicates that the distribution is skewed to the left (the long tail will be in the negative direction). For the normal distribution‚ kurtosis is three. So K-3 measures excess kurtosis. Since the excess kurtosis for SCORE variable is positive‚ the distribution is leptokurtic (it has thick tails
