You are asked to investigate the return to experience (1.e., the increase in salary for an additional year of teaching experience) for college teachers. You first propose the following econometric model: sal = Bo + Bi expi+ B, D + u (4A) where sal, is the monthly salary of a college teacher, exp, is years of teaching experience, and D, is a dummy variable (which is 1 if the teacher has a doctoral degree and is otherwise). You then estimate model (4A) using a random sample of 325 college teachers. The estimation result is given by: sal = 6242.639 + 254.786 exp;+ 1108.803 D (4B) (427.902) (42.375) (288.869) Q4a (10 marks): Predict the average salary of college teachers with 10 years' teaching experience and with a doctoral degree. Show the detail procedure (including the transformation) to get the standard error of this mean prediction. And then construct the 95% confidence interval for this mean prediction assuming that you also estimated a transformed model of (4A) as follows: sal = l +254.786 (expi-10) + 1108.803(D, -1) (4C) (235.457) (42.375) (288.869) where ſis an estimated intercept. Q4b (6 marks): Based on the estimated model (4B), what is the predicted difference in monthly salary between teachers with the same years of teaching experience, but one has a doctoral degree, and the other does not have a doctoral degree? Is the difference statistically significant at the 1% level? (Question 4 Continued) You further think that return to experience should be different for teachers with and without doctoral degrees. Consequently, you propose the following econometric model: sal - Bo + Brexpit B, D + B, D, exp+ (4D) and you also estimate this model using the same sample data as follows: sal = 5722.394 + 202.564 expi + 1078.035 D + 124.233 D, X exp/ (4E) (398.229) (41.615) (275.765) (65.120) In - 325, R2 -0.285) Q4c (4 marks): What are the estimated returns to experience for (i) a teacher with a doctoral degree and (ii) a teacher without a doctoral degree? Q4d (6 marks): Find the difference between the estimated returns to experience for teachers with and without a doctoral degree. Test the significance of this difference at the 5% level.
