Ve estimate a simple regression explaining monthly salary (salary) in terms of IQ score Q), using data from a random sample of 935 individuals. We obtain the following stimated regression line: alary = 117 + 8.30 × IQ What is the correct interpretation of the estimated slope coefficient? Individuals with IQ scores of 100 have, on average, monthly wages of $830. An additional one point increase in IQ score is associated, on average, with an increase in monthly salary of $8.30. O An additional one point increase in IQ score is associated, on average, with a decrease in monthly salary of $8.30. Each additional one point increase in IQ score will cause an increase in an individual's monthly salary by $8.30.

Consider the following estimated regression model relating annual salary to years of education and work experience. Estimated Salary=11,681.31+3418.97(Education)+1194.78(Experience) Suppose two employees at the company have been working there for five years. One has a bachelor's degree (8 years of education) and one has a master's degree (10 years of education). How much more money would we expect the employee with a master's degree to make?
We estimate a simple regression explaining monthly salary (salary) in terms of IQ score (IQ), using data from a random sample of 935 individuals. We obtain the following estimated regression line: salary According to the estimation above, what is the average monthly salary of individuals with an IQ score of 115? = 117 + 8.30 × IQ
Using a sample of recent university graduates, you estimate a simple linear regression using initial annual salary as the dependent variable and the graduate's weighted average mark (WAM) as the explanatory variable. If the regression model has an estimated intercept of 3200 and an estimated slope coefficient of 550, what is the predicted starting salary of a student with a WAM of 69? Answer:
Suppose that a researcher, using wage per hour data on 250 randomly selected male workers and 280 female workers, estimates the following OLS regression wage - 12.68+2.79xMale (0.18) (0.84) R = 0.06, s-3.10 where Male is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the worker is male and 0 if female: s represents the standard error of the regression and in brackets homoskedastic std errors are reported. The researcher wants to find the gender pay gap as percentage bf the wagé per hour of women. According to this information the gender pay gap on average against women is approximately -22% -25% -38% O-16%
In this question we look at the relation between the logarithm of weakly earnings and years of education. Using data from the national longitudinal study of youth, we find the following results for a regression of log weekly earnings and years of education, experience, experience squared and an intercept: Log (earnings) = 4.016 + 0.092 . educi + 0.079 .expei + 0.002 . experi 2 ( 0.222) ( 0.008) ( 0.025) (0.001) c). Labour economist studying the relation between education and earnings are often concerned about what they call “ability bias”. Suppose that individuals differ in ability, and that the correct specification of the regression function is one that includes ability: log ( earnings )I = β1 + β 2 ⋅ educI + β 3 ⋅ experI − β 4 ⋅ experI2 + β5 ⋅ abilityI + εI . In this regression, what do you expect the sign of β5 (the coefficient on ability) to be?

Collinearity in a multiple regression analysis Suppose you want to examine the effects of a training program on future earnings using the following model: earn98= 4.64 +2.376train +0.371earn96 +0.366educ- 1.86 age +2.534 married (1.14) (0.43) (0.016) (0.062) (0.013) (0.4) where earn 98- 1998 earnings, in thousands of dollars train -1 if the individual participated in the training program, and =0 otherwise earn 96- 1996 earnings, in thousands of dollars educ years of education age = age, in years married-1 if the individual is married, and -0 otherwise Suppose that there is a high degree of correlation (but not perfect) between earnings in 1996, education, age, and marital status. True or False: We should be concerned about this high degree of correlation because it affects our ability to reliably estimate the impact of the training program on 1998 earnings, T. True False
Consider the following estimated regression model relating annual salary to years of education and work experience. Estimated Salary=11,722.40+3182.56(Education)+1202.44(Experience)Estimated Salary=11,722.40+3182.56(Education)+1202.44(Experience) Suppose an employee with 66 years of education has been with the company for 33 years (note that education years are the number of years after 8th8th grade). According to this model, what is his estimated annual salary?
An economist uses regression analysis to determine the relationship between used car price (y) and the age of a car (x). The analysis resulted in the following equation: Y = 30,000 - 500*X The above equation implies that an increase of O 1 year in the age of the car is associated with an increase of $500 in the price of the car O 1 year in the age of the car is associated with a decrease in $500 in the price of the car O $500 in the price of the car is associated with an increase of 5 years in the age of the car 5 years in the age of the car is associated with a decrease of $100 in the price of the car

Consider the following log-wage regression results for women (W) and men (M) where wages are predicted by schooling (S) and age (A). wW = 2.23 + 0.077Sw + 0.017Aw and wM = 2.33 + 0.0745SM + 0.026AM. Sample means for the variables by gender are: women average a logged wage of 3.90, 12.7 years of schooling, and 40.8 years-old; men average a logged wage of 4.53, 14.2 years of schooling, and 43.9 years-old. Decompose the raw difference in average logged wages using the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition. Specifically, decompose the raw difference into the portion due to differences in schooling, differences in age, and the portion left unexplained, possibly due to gender discrimination.
What is the functional form of this equation? What are the advantages and limitations of this functional form? Interpret precisely the coefficients of Px and Py in the regression.
Suppose that in a linear regression model hourly wages are explained as a function of gender, where the dummy variable female takes on a value of 1 if the worker is a female and O otherwise: SRL : wâge 25 + 2 * female Which interpretation(s) are correct for this SRL? An additional female worker increases hourly wages by 2 dollars on average. Men earn on average 25 dollars per hour. Women earn on average two dollars more per hour than men. Women are the baseline group.
