Source This dataset was obtained from the AER R package (see citation request below). Data description Cross-section data originating from the March 1988 Current Population Survey by the US Census Bureau. The data is a sample of men aged 18 to 70 with positive annual income greater than USD 50 in 1992, who are not self-employed nor working without pay. Wages are deflated by the deflator of Personal Consumption Expenditure for 1992. A problem with CPS data is that it does not provide actual work experience. It is therefore customary to compute experience as age - education - 6 (as was done by Bierens and Ginther, 2001), this may be considered potential experience. As a result, some respondents have negative experience Attribute Information * wage Wage (in dollars per week). * education Number of years of education. * experience Number of years of potential work experience. * ethnicity Factor with levels "cauc" and "afam" (African-American). * smsa Factor. Does the individual reside in a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA)? * region Factor with levels "northeast", "midwest", "south", "west". * parttime Factor. Does the individual work part-time? Citation Request Christian Kleiber and Achim Zeileis (2008). Applied Econometrics with R. New York: Springer-Verlag. ISBN 978-0-387-77316-2.
