Considere o modelo de regressão linear simples

!$ Y_i=\beta_0+\beta_1X_1+\varepsilon_i !$,

no qual !$ (Y_i, X_i)^N_{i-1} !$ é uma amostra aleatória, !$ Co\nu(\varepsilon_i, X_i)≠ 0 !$, !$ Var[X_i]>0 !$, !$ 0< E[X^4_i]<∞ !$. Temos um vetor de variáveis aleatórias !$ Z_i !$ com dimensão rx1, com !$ r \ge 1 !$, tal que !$ Co\nu(\varepsilon_i, Z_i)=0 !$. Além disso, !$ Var[\varepsilon_i \mid Z_i]=σ^2 !$.

Baseando-se nas informações acima, julgue o item abaixo:

Item 2 - Se !$ r \ge 1 !$, o estimador de Mínimos Quadrados em dois estágios será um estimador consistente;

Classifique a afirmativa como certo ou errado:

Item 3 - De acordo com o princípio da Equivalência Ricardiana, um aumento do déficit orçamentário corrente do governo promove uma elevação do nível de atividade econômica.

Vários autores adotam a tese de que a intervenção do governo na economia brasileira durante o século XX foi influenciada pelo desenvolvimentismo. Sobre este tema se pode considerar certo que:

Item 2 - o ideário desenvolvimentista é geralmente associado aos governos do período da substituição de importações até 1964, tendo deixado de influenciar a política econômica após esse ano.

Climate science

A sensitive matter

The climate may be heating up less in response to greenhouse-gas emissions than was once thought. But that does not mean the problem is going away

OVER the past 15 years air temperatures at the Earth’s surface have been flat while greenhouse-gas emissions have continued to soar. The world added roughly 100 billion tonnes of carbon to the atmosphere between 2000 and 2010. That is about a quarter of all the CO₂ put there by humanity since 1750. And yet, as James Hansen, the head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, observes, “the five-year mean global temperature has been flat for a decade.”

Temperatures fluctuate over short periods, but this lack of new warming is a surprise. Ed Hawkins, of the University of Reading, in Britain, points out that surface temperatures since 2005 are already at the low end of the range of projections derived from 20 climate models (…). If they remain flat, they will fall outside the models’ range within a few years.

The mismatch between rising greenhouse-gas emissions and not-rising temperatures is among the biggest puzzles in climate science just now. It does not mean global warming is a delusion. Flat though they are, temperatures in the first decade of the 21st century remain almost 1°C above their level in the first decade of the 20th. But the puzzle does

need explaining. (…)

The insensitive planet

The term scientists use to describe the way the climate reacts to changes in carbon-dioxide levels is “climate sensitivity”. This is usually defined as how much hotter the Earth will get for each doubling of CO₂ concentrations. So-called equilibrium sensitivity, the commonest measure, refers to the temperature rise after allowing all feedback mechanisms to work (but without accounting for changes in vegetation and ice sheets).

Carbon dioxide itself absorbs infra-red at a consistent rate. For each doubling of CO₂ levels you get roughly 1°C of warming. A rise in concentrations from preindustrial levels of 280 parts per million (ppm) to 560ppm would thus warm the Earth by 1°C. If that were all there was to worry about, there would, as it were, be nothing to worry about. A 1°C rise could be shrugged off. But things are not that simple, for two reasons. One is that rising CO₂ levels directly influence phenomena such as the amount of water vapour (also a greenhouse gas) and clouds that amplify or diminish the temperature rise. This affects equilibrium sensitivity directly, meaning doubling carbon concentrations would produce more than a 1°C rise in temperature. The second is that other things, such as adding soot and other aerosols to the atmosphere, add to or subtract from the effect of CO₂. All serious climate scientists agree on these two lines of reasoning. But they disagree on the size of the change that is predicted.

Item 3 -Scientists have now found an explanation for this puzzle;

Sobre a economia brasileira na década de 1970, é correto afirmar que:

Item 2 - um dos motivos da estatização da dívida externa é a possibilidade de transferência do risco cambial da dívida privada para o setor público a partir de 1977.

Com relação ao comportamento do consumidor, indique se o item abaixo é certo ou errado:

Item 3 - O efeito-substituição mede a variação no consumo de um bem em função de seu preço e de seu nível de utilidade;

Considere a função !$ z=f(x,y)=6x^{1/2}y^{1/3} !$. Analisar o seguinte item:

Item 4 - O plano paralelo a !$ 6x+4y-2z+15=0 !$, que tangencia o gráfico de !$ z=f(x,y) !$, o faz no ponto !$ (\bar{x},\bar{y}) !$. Então !$ \bar{x}+\bar{y}=6 !$.
