QUESTION 2 – GENDER AND LABOR-MARKET OUTCOMES
Create a .do file named ps3.do to help answer the following questions.
In addition to answering the questions below, submit your Stata output
in the form of a .log file.
This question uses the dataset gender2009.dta which consists of
information on salaries and work hours in a sample of 950 individuals
who identify as male or female. We will use these data to analyze the
gender gap in earnings.
(a) Focus on the sample of individuals are
(inclusive). Write a regression that would
difference in yearly salary across gender,
weekly hours worked. Run the regression in
coefficient estimates.
between 22 and 35 years old
tell you the gender
with a control for usual
Stata, and interpret the
(h) What do you conclude about the gender earnings gap? How does your
answer differ from what you would get if you didn?t control for hours?
