GENR exp2=Exp**2 * Estimate the model by OLS with OLS standard errors. * The dependent variable is in LOG form. The LOGLIN option corrects the reported * elasticities and the value of the log-likelihood to account for this. * OLS lwage exp exp2 wks occ ind south smsa ms fem union ed blk /LOGLIN * * Resestimate using the HETCOV option to obtain the White heteroskedaticity * consistent standard errors. * OLS lwage exp exp2 wks occ ind south smsa ms fem union ed blk/ HETCOV LOGLIN * * The POOL command provides features for estimating pooled cross-section * time-series models. The NCROSS= option can be used to specify the number * of cross-sectional units in the data. Alternatively, with balanced panels * such as this one, the NTIME= option can be used to specify the number of * time units in the data. The Beck-Katz robust standard errors (9-3) can be * obtained by using the HETCOV option. * PAR 4500 * In some implementations, the default memory allocation is insufficient to * estimate a pooled regression model of this size. The memory can be increased with * the PAR command, which specifies the memory in kilobytes. * POOL lwage exp exp2 wks occ ind south smsa ms fem union ed blk/ NTIME=7 HETCOV LOGLIN * * For reasons that are not clear, the panel robust standard errors do not agree with * those reported in Table 9.1.
