A researcher wishes to examine the relationship between wage earned and educational level of workers. For a sample of 4000 workers she has data on hourly earnings (measured in Dollar), age of the worker (in years), worker’s gender, years of experience, number of years with the present employer, size of the firm in which the worker is employed, and highest educational qualification (with 4 classifications: no qualification, secondary school certificate, bachelor degree or PhD)

  1. Explain how you would set up a model to address the researcher’s key interest.
  2. Based on your model, how would you estimate the predicted impact on wages of holding a PhD compared to having a bachelor’s degree.
  3. If the researcher uses ln(wage) as the dependent variable, how would the estimated coefficients be interpreted?
  4. What general advice would you give the researcher in relation to her work – eg. what econometric issues should she be aware of in conducting this research and interpreting the results?

Here are the projected numbers (in thousands) of earned degrees in a certain country during one academic year, classified by level and by the sex of the degree recipient:

Bachelor's Master's Professional Doctorate
Female 932 403 52 28
Male 663 270 42 28

Use these data to answer the following questions.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen degree recipient is a man? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(b) What is the conditional probability that the person chosen received a bachelor's degree, given that he is a man? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(c) Use the multiplication rule to find the probability of choosing a male bachelor's degree recipient. Check your result by finding this probability directly from the table of counts. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
