Question

14. How many observations are used in this regression? Is this different from the number of observations used in Exhibit D? If yes, why do you think this is the case?

15. Ceteris paribus, on average, if a route has one more direct rivals, what is the expected difference in business class fares? Compare this number to the expected difference in economy class fares under the same situation. [Hint: using just Exhibit E may not be enough to answer this question. Look elsewhere, utilize what Carly inspires you.]

16. Obviously, the authors of this paper has done a lot more regressions and analyses. What are some factors, in your opinion, that may also affect prices of tickets? Please list three of those. For each one, illustrate how that variable may affect prices, and give some ideas on the possible sign for that particular coefficient.

Explanation / Answer

12)
A) dependent variable = coach_fare
B) independent variable = num_car_dir = the number of direct rivals, or competitors

13)

slope = -19.7776
yes, it makes sense
as the number of direct rivals, or competitors increases   the coach fare should decrease
hence slope is negative

14)
degree of freedom total = n-1
where n is sample size
here
n -1 = 3143
n = 3144
hence number of observations are used in this regression = 3144

in Exhibit D
n-1 = 11063
n = 11064

this is different from the number of observations used in Exhibit D
