Second try on term paper

A minimum requirement for getting your term paper approved is that you run a regression that includes both gender and other variables that may affect wages as explanatory variables. Think of it; you are asked examine in the data if gender matters for labour market outcomes. Well the first thing you would do then is to check if there is an average differences in wages or income for men and women. The next thing to check is if this difference maybe is explained by male and female having different productivity. To check for that you need to control for other potentially relevant variables in a multivariate regression.
