[SOLVED] Qmss 5016 lab 1

Choose 1 of these assignments:
1. Conduct a trend analysis of some variable of interest. Graph it and try different functional forms. Look for subgroup variation across time, too. Extra credit if
you consider other variables as a means of explaining the trend. Explain all of your results.
2. Conduct an unpooled regression comparison across time-periods. Compare at least two time periods, running regressions on each and comparing
coefficients. Explain your results.
3. Conduct an age-period-cohort analysis. Make plots of the different dimensions. Develop a parsimonious model of what you think is going on. Explain your
results.
4. Conduct a difference-in-difference analysis. Explain which group is treated and which is not. Provide pre-treatment trends and generate a regression
summarizing your results. Explain what you found.
