(Multivariate Regression) In order to study the effect of change in hourly wage (WPH) on the supply of labor (hours worked, HRS), we have data on the 38 demographic groups. There are other factors that will affect the supply of labor, which include spouse's annual income (ERSP) and the number of years of education (SCL). We have data saved in file Wage.txt. You are asked to estimate the supply equation. Note, in all the following regressions, you should include a constant term.

(a)Estimate a univariate regression of HRS on WPH. What is the impact of a dollar change in wage on the supply, and does the sign of the coefficient makes sense? Is your estimate significant?

(b)The supply of labor may depend on how much spouse makes. In other words, we should estimate the following multivariate regression model instead, HRS = 1 + 2WPH + 3ERSP + u. What sign do you expect for 2 and 3? Are the corresponding coefficient estimates significant and have the right sign?

(c) What if you delete the 19th observation, and rerun the multivariate regression, what do you observe when comparing with those of (b)?

(d)Suppose, on average, a spouse worked 700 hours a year, we can study whether there is a complete substitution effect of spouse by testing how would you formulate the hypothesis of 2 + 3 700 = 0. Is the complete substitution hypothesis true?

(e)Finally, since both HRS and WPH are endogenous, we may interested in estimating the following multivariate regression model, (WPH HRS) = 1 + 2SCL + 3NEIN + v, where NEIN is non-wage income. Interpret your coefficient estimates, and test their significance. Does the sign of coefficient estimates make sense?
