Please read the following instructions carefully before working on the assignment.
We cannot accept assignments where the instructions have not been followed.
 This assignment must be submitted online via the LMS by 4:00 PM on Monday August 21.
Any assignment not submitted by this due date and time will be given a mark of zero. This
assignment is worth 5% of the final grade for QM2.
 A group of two students (but no more than two students) may work together and submit
one set of assignment answers for the group. Both members of the group must be enrolled
in the same tutorial. Individuals may work alone if they wish, and submit their own
assignment answers, but I urge students to work in pairs.
 Please note that the assignment submission process has two stages:
1. Registering your assignment group, and
2. Submitting the assignment online via the LMS.
To register your group, go to the link on the LMS and follow the instructions.
The deadline for registering your group is 5:00 PM on Tuesday 15 August.
Students making an individual submission do not have to register: single‐member groups
are created automatically after group registration has closed. If a pair fails to register their
group before the deadline for group registration, both students will need to make an
individual submission.
A separate link will be given to submit your assignment on 16 August, after the assignment
group registration process is completed.
 For assignments submitted as a group, both group members will receive the same mark for
the assignment. Students should form their own groups. No credit can be given for group
assignments where members of the group do not come from the same tutorial, or where
there are more than two students in a group.
 All assignments should be typed and should be converted into PDF before submitting online
via the LMS. Students must preview their assignment after uploading on the LMS to ensure
they have uploaded the correct/complete assignment, and the formatting is in order as in
their original document. Submissions that are late because of formatting issues, or because
a version is incomplete, will not be accepted.
 Please make sure to include a cover page with student IDs and names of both group
members.

The World Bank is comparing the welfare of the citizens of Northland (NTH) with those of
Southland (STH). Of interest is their level of income, income inequality, poverty, and
happiness.
Random samples of 200 citizens of Northland and 100 citizens of Southland were taken. Data
from these samples is stored in the file assmt1.wf1. The variables in this file are:
INC_NTH Incomes of the sampled Northland citizens in thousands of dollars.
INC_STH Incomes of the sampled Southland citizens in thousands of dollars.
POV_NTH = 1 if a sampled individual in Northland is considered poor, otherwise 0.
POV_STH = 1 if a sampled individual in Southland is considered poor, otherwise 0.
HAP_NTH and HAP_STH are indicators of how happy each individual is in Northland
and Southland, respectively, according to the following scale.
Very unhappy 1
Unhappy 2
OK 3
Happy 4
Very happy 5
Wherever possible, EViews can be used to answer the following questions.
Question 1 (21 marks)
This question is concerned with using the variances of incomes from each country to compare
income inequality.
