I am interested in the effect of majoring in economics on the probability that a Binghamton student will work in the financial sector during the first year after college. Define a treatment variable and an outcome variable. What do you expect is the sign of the difference in means, positive or negative? What do you think is the sign of the selection bias? Explain.

At some colleges and universities, economics professors receive higher salaries than professors in some other fields. a. Why might this be true? b. Some other colleges and universities have a policy of paying equal salaries to professors in all fields.
