Statistics and histograms for the variables

Reference no: EM13930269

In preparing your report you must address the following questions:

(a) Obtain summary statistics and histograms for the variables WAGE and EDUC. Discuss the data characteristics.

(b) Estimate the linear regression WAGE = β1 + β2EDUC + ε and interpret the slope.

(d) Estimate the quadratic regression WAGE = α1 + α2EDUC2 + ε and interpret the results. Estimate the marginal effect of another year of education on wage for a person with 12 years of education, and for a person with 14 years of education. Compare these values to the estimated marginal effect of education from the linear regression in part (b).

(e) Construct a histogram of ln(WAGE). Compare the shape of this histogram to that for WAGE from part (a). Which appears to be more symmetric and bell-shaped?

(f) Estimate the log-linear regression ln(WAGE) = γ1 + γ2EDUC + ε and interpret the slope. Estimate the marginal effect of another year of education on wage for a person with 12 years of education, and for a person with 14 years of education. Compare these values to the estimated marginal effects of education from the linear regression in part (b) and quadratic in part (d).
