Question 1 1. (10 marks) Suppose that schooling (s) is the only variable that affects earnings. The following equations describe the weekly salaries of tall and short workers: Wtall = 700 + 100s Wshort = 400 + 80s On average, tall workers have 15 years of schooling and short workers have 12 years of schooling. a) (4 marks) What is the short-tall wage differential in the labour market? b) (6 marks) Use the Oaxaca decomposition approach to calculate how much...

Suppose years of schooling, s, is the only variable that affects earnings. The equations for the weekly salaries (W) of male (m) and female (f) workers are given by: Wm = 340 + 150sm [αm +βm(Sm)] Wf = 317 + 119sf [αf +βf(Sf)] On average, men have 14 years of schooling and women have 13 years of schooling. The Oaxaca decomposition formula is given as follows: ΔW = (αm – αf) + (βm – βf)Sf + βm(Sm – Sf) Where,...

Suppose you have data on students and their teachers linked to student earnings later in life. You estimate that having a teacher for one year with one standard-deviation higher value-added increases a student's annual earnings from age 20 to 70 by $125 per year. What is the approximate present discounted value at age 20 of the increase in earnings generated for a class of 25 with a discount rate of 0.02?

Suppose interest rates increase from 4% to 5%. Between a 30-year bond paying an annual coupon of 4% or a 5-year bond paying an annual coupon of 4%, which of the two bonds will suffer the greater percentage decline in value? Why does this bond have greater interest rate risk? (Assume both bonds have equal credit risk.)
