3. On July 15, 1980, Kentucky raised the cap on weekly earnings that were covered by workers' compensation if they are injured and out of work for a while. Before the policy was applied, only low-earners were covered. Policy included some high-earners as workers covered by compensation. To study the effect of this law on "time out of work after an injury", we estimated the following model: reg Idurat afchnge highearn afhigh Source I SS df MS Number of obs = 7150 F( 3, 7146) 38.34 Model 193 .919855 3 64. 6399516 Prob > F II 0. 0000 Residual 12047 . 1908 7146 1. 68586493 R-squared 0. 0158 Adj R-squared 0. 0154 Total I 12241 . 1107 7149 1.71228293 Root MSE 1 . 2984 Idurat I Coef.
