INTRODUCTORY ECONOMETRICS
In an earlier tutorial, you were introduced to a data set that came from a job training experiment conducted for low-income men in the United States in 1976. In this question, you are given extra information for 5 individuals in the data set. The data is given as follows: Observation re78 educ age 1 9.93 16 25 2 3.59 12 20 3 7.50 9 55 4 4.05 12 21 5 8.47 12 40 You will operate on the above data of 5 observations throughout this assignment. The variables are defined as follows: re78 = earnings in 1978, measured in thousand dollars educ = years of education age = individual’s age in years (a)(1pt) Reconstruct the following frequency table on your answer sheet and fill in the missing information. Age=30 Educ=10 (b)(1pt) Reconstruct the following table on your answer sheet. Compute the conditional means. Answer E(re78|educ=12) E(re78|educ=10 and age -0.1 With the aid of a statistical table, find the critical value associated with a significance level of 10 percent. Is the null hypothesis rejected at the 10 percent significance level?
