Question 2[6 points] The coe cient of S in the wage regression in Question 1 measures the return to education. When we include race dummy (ETHWHITE) in the regression without any interactive term, weassume that the return to education (slope) is the same for white and non-white. Is it true? We can test it by adding a slope dummy variable which is the product of S and the race dummy variable. The slope dummy variable is: SETHWHITE = S ETHWHITE. Add this slope dummy variable to the regression: EARNINGS =1+2S+3ETHWHITE+4SETHWHITE+u. Use the following regression output to answer the questions.
