a) You estimate the following polynomial regression model wage over Age, A g e 2,  together with a dummy variable Female that takes on the value of one for females and is zero otherwise:

Model 1:

w a g e = 10. 04 + 2.10 A g e + 0.05 A g e 2 + 13.19 F e m a l e ,

             ( 0.45 )     ( 0.20 )       ( 0.003 )         ( 2.45 )     

Use a t-test for the significance of the coefficient of A g e 2. Please write down its corresponding test hypotheses H 0, H 1 and your conclusion, i.e., if reject the null hypothesis or not.

(b) Predict the wage for a Male 30-years-old worker. And predict the wage for a Male 40-years-old worker. Furthermore, for a Male worker, if Age increase from 30 to 40, how does wage expect to change?

(c) Please use a sentence to interpret the coefficient of variable Female.

(d) You run another regression as below.

Model 2:

w a g e = 11.44 + 1.70 A g e + 0.01 A g e 2 + 13.16 F e m a l e

              ( 0.58 )   ( 0.30 )        ( 0.004 )           ( 2.65 )

                   − 0.002 F e m a l e × A g e + 0.005 F e m a l e × A g e 2 ,

                    ( 0.045 )                             ( 0.007 )

To test H 0 : β 4 = β 5 = 0 in Model 2, i.e., the coefficients of the last two interaction terms are jointly zero, the computer returns the F-statistic of 1.23 with p-value of 0.04. Given these test results, please write down your conclusion, i.e., if reject the null hypothesis H 0 or not.

(e) Based on the F-test result in part (f), which regression between the two shall we choose, model 1 or model 2. Why?
