If you are downloading this SHAZAM code for use on your own computer, select "File", then "Save As...", and save on your own diskette (a:) or your own hard drive (c:\) using the same filename p208sh9.sha.

IMPORTANT: you must then use an editor (like TED) to delete all of the HTML code from the top and the bottom of the file, leaving only the SHAZAM code. The line which reads "* SHAZAM code (p208sh9.sha) downloaded from UCLA Policy Studies 208 (CAMERON) WebSite" should be the first line of your edited program file. Save the edited program as coffee.sha

* SHAZAM code downloaded from UCLA Policy Studies 208 (CAMERON) WebSite: 
* HTML file called p208sh9.htm, and should have 
*  been downloaded as coffee.sha

read(coffee.dat) atc q

* descriptive statistics, save means
stat atc q / pcor mean=m
plot atc q

* simple regression, save coefficietns
ols atc q / coef=bl

* point estimate of fitted atc at q= mean in sample
gen1 qmfit=bl:1*m:2 + bl:2
print qmfit

* point estimate of fitted atc at q=80
gen1 qfit80=bl:1*80 + bl:2
print qfit80

* redo the regression, test whether expected atc at q=80 is equal to 70
ols atc q / coef=b1
test q*80+constant=70

* use joint confidence ellipse to determine plausible values for parameters
confid q constant

* if this didn't work, try regression through the origin version
genr one=1
ols atc q one / noconstant
confid q one




* prepare for quadratic specification
genr q2=q*q
ols atc q q2 / coef=bq

* prepare for cubic specification
genr q3=q*q*q
ols atc q q2 q3 / coef=bc auxrsqr
stat q q2 q3 / pcor
