ECON 103：宏观经济原则

Introduction to the theory of determination of total or aggregate income, employment, output, price levels, and the role of money in the economy. Primary emphasis on monetary and fiscal policy, inflation, unemployment, economic growth, and international economics. 3 undergraduate credit hours

1. Suppose I know the joint distribution of $X$ and $Y$. Using the joint pdf of $X$ and $Y$ I calculate the covariance between $Y$ and $X$ using the following formulas:
\begin{aligned} \operatorname{Cov}(X, Y) &=\mathbb{E}[Y X]-\mathbb{E}[Y] \mathbb{E}[X]=30 \\ \operatorname{Var}(X) &=\mathbb{E}\left[X^{2}\right]-(\mathbb{E}[X])^{2}=100 \\ \operatorname{Var}(Y) &=\mathbb{E}\left[(Y-\mathbb{E}[Y])^{2}\right]=4 \end{aligned}
(a) No, all formulas are correct and there are no apparent errors in calculation.
(b) Yes, the formula for $\operatorname{Var}(Y)$ is incorrect.
(c) Yes, the formula for $\operatorname{Cov}(X, Y)$ is incorrect.
(d) Yes, the formula for $\operatorname{Var}(X)$ is incorrect.
(e) Yes, all formulas are correct but I have made an error when computing either the variances or the covariance.

Proof .

Answer: All formulas are correct. However, recall from Homework that, by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality the correlation coeffecient must be bounded between $-1$ and $1 .$ Here the correlation coeffecient is given by
$$\frac{\operatorname{Cov}(X, Y)}{\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}(X)} \sqrt{\operatorname{Var}(Y)}}=\frac{30}{10 \cdot 2}=1.5 .$$
So, I must have made a calculation error.

Suppose that I can pay $\$ 0.8$to enter a lottery whose payout (in dollars) is described by a random variable$Y$with pdf: $$f_{Y}(a)= \begin{cases}c a^{2} & \text { if } a \in[0,1] \\ 0 & \text { otherwise }\end{cases}$$ for some unknown constant$c>0$. Should I pay to enter this lottery? (a) It is impossible to tell because we do not know$c$. (b) Yes, because the expected value,$\mathbb{E}[Y]$, is positive. (c) Yes, because the expected value,$\mathbb{E}[Y]$, is greater than$\$0.8$.
(d) No, because the expected value, $\mathbb{E}[Y]$, is negative.
(e) No, because the expected value, $\mathbb{E}[Y]$, is less than $\$ 0.8$. Proof . Answer: Using the fact that the pdf integrates to one, we can solve for$c$: $$\int_{0}^{1} c a^{2} d a=\left.1 \Longrightarrow c \cdot \frac{a^{3}}{3}\right|_{0} ^{1}=1 \Longrightarrow \frac{c}{3}=1 \Longrightarrow c=3$$ Now, we can solve for the exptected value of$Y\$ :
$$\mathbb{E}[Y]=\int_{0}^{1} 3 f_{Y}(a) \cdot a d a=\int_{0}^{1} 3 a^{3} d a=\left.3 \cdot \frac{a^{4}}{4}\right|_{0} ^{1}=\frac{3}{4}$$
Because the expected value of this lottery is lower than the cost to enter it, we should not enter the lottery.

### Section Information:

• AL1 or AL2 Lecture MUST be paired with an AQ Discussion (Quiz) Section, and they must be added at the same time when registering. This is in-class for both the lecture twice per week and the discussion.
• No overrides will be provided (sections are not restricted; we do not provide overrides for full sections).

Restrictions will be lifted after priority registration so all students may register for any open seats. No overrides will be provided (students should contact the LLC if they are having problems with registration to ensure they have the student attribute).
