To calculate the J-statistic you regress the
 
  A) squared values of the TSLS residuals on all exogenous variables and the instruments. The statistic is then the number of observations times the regression R2.
  B) TSLS residuals on all exogenous variables and the instruments. You then multiply the homoskedasticity-only F-statistic from that regression by the number of instruments.
  C) OLS residuals from the reduced form on the instruments. The F-statistic from this regression is the J-statistic.
  D) TSLS residuals on all exogenous variables and the instruments. You then multiply the heteroskedasticity-robust F-statistic from that regression by the number of instruments.

Question 2

In the case of exact identification
 
  A) you can use the J-statistic in a test of overidentifying restrictions.
  B) you cannot use TSLS for estimation purposes.
  C) you must rely on your personal knowledge of the empirical problem at hand to assess whether the instruments are exogenous.
  D) OLS and TSLS yield the same estimate.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
