Let’s assume that we want to estimate the effect of tech innovation on individual wealth in a nation. We can measure individual wealth in a nation with GDP per capita. We can measure tech innovation with the number of patents or the number of science journal publications. In addition, we want to measure the Covid-19 pandemic effect on individual wealth as well. Therefore, we construct the dataset as follows: Patent: the number of patents in a country GDPcapita : GDP per capita = GDP/population GDPgrowth: GDP growth rate SCJournal: the number of scientific journal publications HighTechExport: the share of high-tech export in GDP Unemploy: Unemployment rate Covid: 1 data comes from 2020 (during the pandemic); 0 data comes from before the COVID-19 pandemic period. Here, GDP per capita is: ________________.

A ________ allows a company to compare their financial performance with other companies or ________.

There is a population linear regression, as follows:

A school-age child has a history of chronic otitis media and is seen in the clinic with vertigo.

Cholesteatoma Correct Mastoiditis Otitis externa Otitis media with effusion  

A 15-year-old female reports fainting at school in class on two occasions. The adolescent’s orthostatic blood pressures are normal.

We want to measure the effect of job types on wages. The job variable contains four possible answers as follows: Job = 1 means a student; Job = 2 means a staff; Job = 3 means a professor; job =4 means a police officer. For this job type variable, we need to put _______ binary dummy variable(s) in a linear regression model.
