- Interpret the regression coefficients. Do they make economic sense?
- Would you conclude that there is a statistically significant relationship at the 5% level between mean hourly wage (Y) and years of schooling (X)? (Hint: Test H0: β2=0)
- Comment about the goodness of fit of the above regression model?
- Test the null hypothesis, H0:β2=1, (vs. H1: β2≠1) at the 1% level of significance.
