Suppose an unobserved effects model of men's wages is estimated using pooled OLS, random effects (RE), and fixed effects (FE) estimation with a panel data set. The independent variables control for education, ethnicity, and work experience. married is a binary variable equal to 1 if the individual is married and 0 otherwise. union is a binary variable equal to 1 if the individual belongs to a union and 0 otherwise. The results of the three estimations are summarized in the following table. Three Different Estimators of a Wage Equation Dependent Variable: log(wage)
Note: Standard errors of each estimate are provided in parenthesis below estimates.
Assume inherent ability is the only source of unobserved, time-constant heterogeneity across individuals. That is, inherent ability level for individual i is equivalent to a. Thus, the composite error for the unobserved effects model, before any transformation, is vi=abilityj+uit Assume all independent variables are uncorrelated with the idiosyncratic errors, uit. Critical values for different significance levels are: Given the above information answer the following questions. Round your results to two decimal places when necessary. Note that in the paragraph below union_it = union it, ability_i = ability i.
Given the abeve information answer the following questions. Round your results to two decimal places when necessary: Note that in the paragraph below union it inion it ability ibility Although impossible to observe in reality, suppose flift Cov(maried it, ability h) 0 . Given the relationship between manted it and ability i, the model should he best estriated bya model due to belonging to a union, relative to those who do hot) is 5 , Berecne sine its test statistic is equ.d to af 5%
