Run a regression of average hourly earnings (wage) on education (educ), experience (exper), exper2, sex (female), marital status (married) and num- ber of dependents (numdep). Discuss the statistical significance of each of the slope coefficients and interpret the coefficients on female and married. If experience increases from 20 years to 21 years, how are earnings expected to change? If experience increases from 35 years to 36 years, how are earnings expected to change? Compare the results.
