Econometrics with SW2

There are three important requirements for this question. 1. The crucial part of this question is the explanations and list out every single symbols, formulas, algebra steps whether it is about the differentiation, the summation operator or anything as to explain to a primary school student who has not done this subject and know nothing about this topics. Which means I would need all the theories, step by step, and all the symbols in details. 2. The actual answers, the actuals answers must be incorporate with the explanations as shown as something in the screenshot sample where the explanations and the actual answers are combined together. 3. I will have many questions to follow afterward and the tutor must be very welcoming and have the right attitude to answer any concerns I have. The answers must be typed In a word document, with all the formulas or any algebra manipulation typed in the word document using the formula option.

For example, the question starts with 1. List out all the necessary symbols, formulas, theories. 2. Explain what the 1 list out . 3. The answer with all the manipulation steps with the explanations of each manipulation and each algebra. 4. Enthusiastic attitude about any queries I am having. 5. Work in the long run if this one works out well.

2. 22. The mean and variance of R are given by
µ = w × 0.08 + (1 − w) × 0.05
σ 2 = w2 × 0.072 + (1 − w)2 × 0.042 + 2 × w × (1 − w) × [0.07 × 0.04 × 0.25]
where 0.07 × 0.04 × 0.25 = Cov ( Rs , Rb ) follows from the definition of the correlation
between Rs and Rb.
(a) µ = 0.065; σ = 0.044
(b) µ = 0.0725; σ = 0.056
(c) w = 1 maximizes µ ; σ = 0.07 for this value of w.
(d) The derivative of σ2 with respect to w is
dσ 2
= 2w × .072 − 2(1 − w) × 0.042 + (2 − 4w) × [0.07 × 0.04 × 0.25]
dw
= 0.0102w − 0.0018
Solving for w yields w = 18 /102 = 0.18. (Notice that the second derivative is
positive, so that this is the global minimum.) With w = 0.18, σ R = .038.

2. 23. X and Z are two independently distributed standard normal random variables, so
µ X = µZ = 0, σ X2 = σ Z2 = 1, σ XZ = 0.
(a) Because of the independence between X and Z , Pr ( Z = z| X = x) = Pr ( Z = z ),
and E ( Z |X ) = E ( Z ) = 0. Thus
E (Y| X ) = E ( X 2 + Z| X ) = E ( X 2| X ) + E (Z |X ) = X 2 + 0 = X 2 .
(b) E ( X 2 ) = σ X2 + µ X2 = 1, and µY = E ( X 2 + Z ) = E ( X 2 ) + µ Z = 1 + 0 = 1.
(c) E ( XY ) = E ( X 3 + ZX ) = E ( X 3 ) + E (ZX ). Using the fact that the odd moments of
a standard normal random variable are all zero, we have E ( X 3 ) = 0. Using the
independence between X and Z , we have E ( ZX ) = µZ µ X = 0. Thus
E ( XY ) = E ( X 3 ) + E (ZX ) = 0.
(d)
cov (XY ) = E[( X − µ X )(Y − µY )] = E[( X − 0)(Y − 1)]
= E ( XY − X ) = E ( XY ) − E ( X )
= 0 − 0 = 0.

(a) E(W) = E[E(W|Z) ] = E[E(X− X! )|Z] = E[ E(X|Z) – E(X|Z) ] = 0.
(b) E(WZ) = E[E(WZ|Z) ] = E[ZE(W)|Z] = E[ Z×0] = 0
(c) Using the hint: V = W – h(Z), so that E(V2) = E(W2) + E[h(Z)2] – 2×E[W×h(Z)].
Using an argument like that in (b), E[W×h(Z)] = 0. Thus, E(V2) = E(W2) +
E[h(Z)2], and the result follows by recognizing that E[h(Z)2] ≥ 0 because h(z)2 ≥ 0
for any value of z.
