Labor economists studying the determinants of women’s earnings discovereda puzzling empirical result. Using randomly selected employedwomen, they regressed earnings on the women’s number of children anda set of control variables (age, education, occupation, and so forth). Theyfound that women with more children had higher wages, controlling forthese other factors. Explain how sample selection might be the cause ofthis result. (Hint: Notice that women who do not work outside the homeare missing from the sample.) [This empirical puzzle motivated JamesHeckman’s research on sample selection that led to his 2000 Nobel Prizein Economics. See Heckman (1974).]
