Question 1 [8 points]
-
Do earnings differ by race? Using the Labor Force Participation 2011 data, we run the
following regression: EARNINGS B1+B2S+B3ETHWHITE +u, where EARNINGS
is the hourly earnings in dollar, S is years of schooling, and ETHWHITE is a dummy
variable which equals to 1 if the individual is white and equals to 0 if the individual is
non-white. Please use the following regression output to answer the questions.

1. (4 points) Interpret the coefficients of S and ETHWHITE.
2. (4 points) Do earnings differ by race? Perform the relevant test and conclude. Use 5%
significance level.
Question 2 [6 points]
The coefficient of S in the wage regression in Question 1 measures the return to education.
When we include race dummy (ETHWHITE) in the regression without any interactive term, we
1
assume that the return to education (slope) is the same for white and non-white. Is it true?
We can test it by adding a slope dummy variable which is the product of S and the race
dummy variable. The slope dummy variable is: SETHWHITE=S× ETHWHITE. Add
this slope dummy variable to the regression: EARNINGS = ß₁+ẞ₂S+BETHWHITE+
B₁SETHWHITE + u. Use the following regression output to answer the questions.
