a) Do these numbers give an answer to the question of interest? Why not? How could one (at least partially) correct for this?
The researcher also runs a simple regression of an individual''s wage on a male dummy, equal to 1 for males and 0 for females. This gives the results reported in

Hourly wages explained from gender: OLS results

c) (How do you interpret the of 0.26?
d) Explain the relationship between the coefficient estimates in the table and the average wage rates of males and females.
e) A student is unhappy with this model as ‘a female dummy is omitted from the model’. Comment upon this criticism.
