Using data from 50 workers, a researcher estimates Wage = β0 + β1Education + β2Experience + β3Age + ε, where Wage is the hourly wage rate and Education, Experience, and Age are the years of higher education, the years of experience, and the age of the worker, respectively. The regression results are shown in the following table. Coefficients Standard Error t Stat p-Value Intercept 6.03 3.70 1.63 0.1100 Education 1.25 0.34 3.68 0.0006 Experience 0.51 0.15 3.40 0.0014 Age -0.03 0.09 -0.33 0.7404 a-1. Interpret the point estimate for β1. As Education increases by 1 year, Wage is predicted to increase by 1.25/hour. a-2. Interpret the point estimate for β2. As Experience increases by 1 year, Wage is predicted to increase by 0.51/hour. b. What is the sample regression equation? (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) y^ = 6.03 + 1.25 Education + 0.51 Experience - 0.03 Age c. Predict the hourly wage rate for a 39-year-old worker with 5 years of higher education and 5 years of experience. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) y^ = 6.03 + 1.25(5) + 0.51(5) - 0.03(39)

The following regression model was used to explain log(wage): Log(wage) = ̠₀ + ̠₁educ + ̠₂exper + ̠₃exper" + ̠₄tenure + u, where educ=years of formal education, exper=years of labour market experience and tenure=years employed in current job. Based on a sample of 625 observations the following estimates were obtained: Dependent variable: Log (wage). Independent variables: educ 0.082 (0.009); exper 0.032 (0.007); exper" -0.0006 (0.0002); tenure 0.041 (0.015); intercept 2.451 (0.100). Observations: 625. R": 0.521.

Comparison of simple and multiple regression estimates Suppose you are interested in studying the factors that influence wages. You plan on using a multiple regression model with k=3 explanatory variables. In particular, you plan on estimating: wage = β0 + β1 educ + β2 exper + β3 age where wage = hourly wage in dollars educ = years of education exper = years of work experience age = age, in years An alternative way of estimating β3 would be to regress wage on ri3, (wagei = β0 + β1 ri3), where ri3 are the residuals from a regression of age on educ and exper. Suppose the following represents a simple regression model of wage on educ. wage = β0 + β1 educ where wage = hourly wage in dollars educ = years of education True or False: If educ is uncorrelated with both age and exper, then β1 from the multiple regression will be the same as β1 from the simple regression. True False
