Question
Regression (1) in Table 1 estimates the effect of additional education
by regressing ln (W age) on Exp, Exp2, W ks, Ed and all the dummy
variables listed above. Does the estimated regression suggest that additional years of schooling increases the wage?

Transcribed Image Text:A wage equation is analysed in a balanced panel of 595 observations on heads
of households. The sample data are drawn from years 1976-1982 of a survey
of income dynamic. The equation to be estimated is
In (Wage it)
B₁ + B₂ Expit + B₂Exp²t + B₁Wksit + ß5Occit
+B6Indit +B7Southit +P8SMS Ait + BgM Sit
+B10Unionit + B11Femit + B12Edit + ß13 Blkit + Uit,
where the variables are as follows:
Exp...years of work experience,
Wks...weeks worked,
Occ...1 if blue-collar occupation, 0 if not,
Ind...1 if the individual works in a manufacturing industry, 0 if not,
South...1 if the individual resides in the south, 0 if not,
SMSA...1 if the individual resides in a Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area (SMSA), 0 if not,
MS...1 if the individual is married, 0 if not,
Union...1 if the individual wage is set by a union contract, 0 if not,
Fem...1 if the individual is female, 0 if not,
Ed...years of education,
Blk...1 if the individual is black, 0 if not.
Note that variables Fem, Ed and Blk are time invariant (i.e. constant) in
the sample. The average number of years of experience in the sample is 19.
