This problem is inspired by a study of the "gender gap" in earnings in top corporate jobs [Bertrand
and Hallock (2001)]. The study compares total compensation among top executives in a large set
of U.S. public corporations in the 1990s. (Each year these publicly traded corporations must report
total compensation levels for their top five executives.) a. Let Female be an indicator variable that
is equal to 1 for females and 0 for males. A regression of the logarithm of earnings onto Female
yields ln(Earnings)=6.480.44Female i. The estimated coefficient on Female is -0.44 . Explain what
this value means. ii. Does this regression suggest that female top executives earn less than top
male executives? Explain. iii. Does this regression suggest that there is gender discrimination?
Explain. b. Two new variables, the market value of the firm (a measure of firm size, in millions of
dollars) and stock return (a measure of firm performance, in percentage points), are added to the
regression: ln(Earnings)=3.860.28Female+0.37ln(MarketValue)+0.004Return i. The coefficient on
ln (Market Value) is 0.37 . Explain what this value means. ii. The coefficient on Female is now -
0.28 . Explain why it has changed from the regression in (a). c. Are large firms more likely than
small firms to have female top executives? Explain.
