  1. Dummy Variables Lecture#8

  2. Nature of “dummy” variable: • Variables that assume such “1” and “0” values • (2) Variables usually indicates the dichotomized • “presence” or “absence”, “yes” or “no”, etc. • (3) Variables indicates a “quality” or an attribute, • such as “male” or “female”, • “black” or “white”, • “urban” or non-urban” • “before” or “after” • “North” or “south”, “east” or “west” • ………..etc.

  5. Female sample: (Gujarati-1995, Table 15.1 & 15.5) Separate female sample

  7. Assuming *2 = 2, same slope but different constant between Yi and Xi. 1st model: Yi = 1 + *1 Di + 2 Xi + ui Assuming *2  2, different slope and different constant between Yi and Xi. 2nd model: Yi = 1 + *1 Di + 2 Xi + *2 DiXi + ui Yi = annual salary (each obs.) Xi = years of teaching experience Di = 1 if male = 0 otherwise (female) control variable

  9. D1 + D2 = 1 D1 = 1 - D2 Each dummy identify two different categories, but when sum up two dummies it cannot identify which is male or female

  10. If we introduce two dummy variables in one model to identify two categories of one qualitative variable such as Yi = 1+ *1 D1i + **1 D2i + 2 Xi + ui where D1i = 1 if female = 0 otherwise D1 = 1 - D2 where D2i = 1 if male = 0 otherwise or D2 = 1 - D1 or D1 + D2 = 1 ( Perfect collinearity ) This model cannot be estimated because of perfect collinearity between D1 and D2 Caution in the use of Dummy variables (Dummy variable trap)

  11. If a qualitative variable has “m” categories, introduce only “m-1” dummy variables. 1 Qualitative variable age m 1 10 20 30 40 Categories dummy => D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 … Dm-1 Use two dummy variables to identify two different qualitative categories in one model will be fall into the “Trap of perfect multi-collinearity” General rule : To avoid the perfect multicollinearity

  12. When a category is assigned the value of zero, this category is called a control category (or omitted group). 2 Now consider different intercepts of two groups: Model: Yi = 1 + *1 D2i + 2Xi + ui D2i = 1 if male = 0 otherwise, (i.e. female) Measure the estimated result for two groups: Male: ^ ==> Yi = (1 + *1 D2i)+ 2Xi D2i = 1 ^ ^ ^ Female: ==> ^ Yi = 1 + 2Xi D2i = 0 ^ ^

  13. In order to test whether there is any difference in the relationships between two categories Compare: ^ Check the t-statistics ^ If t-statistics is significant in *1, there is different in constant term. =>same 2 means two categories of X have the same relationship with Y ^ ^ Yi = (1 + *1 D)+ 2Xi ^ ^ ^ Yi = 1 + 2Xi ^ ^

  14. If t* > tc ==> reject H0: *1 = 0 H0 : *1 = 0 H1 : *1 > 0 or H1 : *1  0 This part is testing whether any difference in slope of two categories ^ Y = 1 + *1Di+ 2 Xi + *2DiXi ^ ^ ^ ^ Appropriate test is the t-test on *0 ^ = = This part is testing the difference of intercept Check t-statistics Check t-statistics Compare the critical tc(α/2, n-k) and the estimated t*

  15. Female Male Separate Examples for female and male: The two regression results performed differently in slope and intercept. But are they really statistically different? We cannot answer from these two separate regression results unless you test the F*.

  16. Set two dummies for the Example: Table 15.1 +15.5 D2:Male =1 others = 0 D1:Female =1 others = 0 ^ ^ ^ ^ Yi = ( ’1 +”1D1) +2 Xi Yi = (1 + *1 D2)+ 2 Xi ^ ^ ^ ^ = (16.656+1.2810) + 1.561X = (19.937-1.2810) + 1.561X

  17. Whole Sample ^ Yi = 1 + 2Xi ^ ^ = 17.095+1.608Xi

  18. D1: Female =1 = 18.689 + 1.373 Xm Male: Y = 1 + 2Xi ^ ^ ^ Female: Y = (1 + ’1D1)+(2 +’2D1)Xi ^ ^ ^ = 16.255 +1.677 Xf

  19. If D2: Male =1 ^ Female: Y = 1 + 2 Xi ^ ^ Male: Y = (1+ ’1 D2)+(2+ ’2D2)X ^ ^ ^ =16.255 + 1.677 X =18.689 + 1.373 X

  21. Health care College education Y = (1 + 1” D3)+2 X D3 = 1 ^ ^ ^ ^ High school education Y = (1 + ’1 D2)+ 2X D2 = 1 ^ ^ ^ ^ Less than high school education Y = 1 + 2 X ^ ^ ^ ’1 1 ’’1 ^ ^ ^ income

Measuring the estimated results of different groups: Less than high school: Yi = -1.2859 + 0.1722 Xi ^ High school: Yi = (-1.2859 - 0.068 ) + 0.1722 Xi ^ = -1.3539 + 0.1722 X If t value of D2 is statistically significant = -1.2859 + 0.1722 X College: Yi = (-1.2859 + 0.447 ) + 0.1722 Xi ^ = -0.8389 + 0.1722 Xi If t value of D3 is statistically significant = -1.2859 + 0.1722 X If t-test is not statistically significant

  31. Different types of dummy regression: 1. Identical regression: 2. Parallel regression: Y = 1 + 2 X + ’1D + ’2D*X Y = 1 + 2 X + ’1D + ’2D*X H0 : ’1 = 0 and ’2 = 0 D = 1 if 1970-1981 = 0 otherwise (1982-1995) H0 : ’1 = 0 4. Dissimilar regression: 3.

Interactive effects between the two qualitative variables Spending(Y) = 1 + ’1D1 + ”1D2+ 2 income(X) + u D1 = 1 if female = 0 otherwise sex Interaction effect: D2 = 1 if college graduate = 0 otherwise education Spending(Y) = 1 + ’1D1 + ”1D2 + ’”1D1*D2 + 2income(X) + u ’1 = different effect of being a female ”1= different effect of being a college graduate ”’1 = different effect of being a female with college graduate

  35. Example : how can we test the hypothesis that the gasoline spending is different between a new car and a used car ? Let us assume that at the begin mile, there is no different between used car and new car. ^ ^ gas spending ^ used car Y = 1+ 2X ^ Y ^ ^ ^ Y = 1+ (2 +  ’2)X ^ ^ ^ o o o o o o New car Y = 1 + 2 X o o o o * * * * * * * * * * * 0 ^ X miles running Concurrent model (or Covariance, or Slope shift model)

  36. Let 2= 2 + ’2D where D= 1 if used car = 0 otherwise Now in one model : Yi = 1 + (2 + ’2D) Xi + ui multiplicative dummy variable = 1 + 2 Xi + ’2D*Xi +ui = 1 + 2 Xi + ’2Zi+ ui The estimated relations are : new car : Yi = 1 + 2 Xi ^ ^ ^ == == used car : Yi = 1 + (2 +  ’2D) Xi whereD = 1 ^ ^ ^ ^ or Yi = 1 + 2 Xi ^ ^ ^ ^ If ’2 0, means the estimated slopes for cars is different.

  37. ^ Test whether  ’2 = 0 or not ? ^ ^ ^ (i) Compare : (a) Y = 1 + 2 X Two separate models ^ ^ ^ (b) Y = 1 +  2X (ii) use t-test on  ’2:Y = 1 +2 Xi +  ’2Z ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ compare tc(α, N-3) and t* H0 : ’2 = 0 H1 : ’2 > 0 ^ ^ If t* > tc（α, N-3） or (’2  0) => reject H0

  39. Example: Estimating Seasonal effects : E = 1 + 2 T + u E : electricity consumption T : temperature To capture effect of seasonal factors E = 1 + ’1D1 +”1D2 + ’’’1D3 + 2T + u D2 = 1 if spring 0 otherwise D1 = 1 if winter 0 otherwise D3 = 1 if summer 0 otherwise where Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 spring summer fall winter Shifts in both intercept and slope

  40. Measure the basic difference of four seasonal results : Fall E = 1 + 2 T ^ ^ ^ Winter E = (1 + ’1)+ 2 T ^ ^ ^ ^ Spring E = (1 + ”1)+ 2 T ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Summer E = ( 1+”’1)+ 2 T ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ E=(1+ ”’1)+ 2T (Summer) E ^ E = (1 + ”1) + 2 T (Spring) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ E = (1 + ’1) + 2 T (winter) ^ ^ ^ ’’’1 ^ ’’1 ’1 ^ ^ E = 1 + 2T (Fall) ^ ^ 1 ^ T

  41. Estimating Seasonal effects :(Cont.) Also consider the slope in different seasons Let *2 = 2 + ’2D1 + ’’2D2 + ’’’2D3 Thus, the full general specification is E = [1+ ’1D1 + ”1D2+ ”’1D3] + 2T + ’2 D1 T + ”2D2 T + ”’2D3 T + u Z1 Z2 Z3

  42. Measure the four seasonal results : Fall E = 1 + 2 T ^ ^ ^ Winter E = (1 + ’1)+ (2 + ’2) T ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Spring E = (1 + ”1)+(2 + ”1) T ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Summer E = ( 1+”’1)+ (2 + ”’2) T ^ ^ ^ ^ E ^ ^ E=(1+ ”’1)+(2+ ”’2)T(Summer) ^ ^ ^ E = (1 + ”1)+(2 + ”2)T (Spring) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ E = (1 + ’1)+(2 +’2)T(winter) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ’’’1 E = 1 + 2T (Fall) ^ ^ ^ ’’1 ’1 ^ 1 ^ T

  43. D1 = 1 1st Quarter = 0 otherwise D2 = 1 2nd Quarter = 0 otherwise D3 = 1 3rd Quarter = 0 otherwise Quarterly effect is same as seasonal effect Control quarter is the 4th quarter
