Question setup At the beginning of the new term, you feel enthusiastic about returning to campus. However, upon attending your first lecture, you notice that your friend appears unhappy. After several attempts to inquire about what's bothering him, he eventually confides in you and whispers that he is considering dropping out of university. This revelation shocks you, and you inquire about the reason behind his decision. Your friend reveals that he feels continuing his studies is pointless because he is failing his modules and he is tired of being broke. When you inquire about his employment prospects should he drop out, he mentions discovering Forex classes over the term break on Instagram that promise to make him rich quickly. You express your concern and explain that Forex is not a guaranteed way to get rich and urge him to carefully consider his decision. However, your friend dismisses your advice and claims that you lack evidence to support your argument that completing his degree would be more beneficial for him in the long run. As an Econometrics student, you realise that you are equipped with the skills to provide your friend with some empirical evidence to support your claims. After campus, you browse the web and learn about the Human Capital Theory. In summary, the Human Capital Theory posits that education is a vital investment in one's human capital, which can increase an individual's productivity and earning potential. You then decide to run a regression to test whether investment in higher education increases your earning potential in South Africa. The point of your analysis is not to draw firm conclusions about the relationship between the variables concerned, but rather to test the claims made about the relationship between these variables. You will use the following specification to test your regression: 𝑌 = 𝛽1 + 𝛽2𝑋 + 𝑢𝑖 Ultimately, the hypothesis you are testing is whether the coefficient parameter β2 is greater than zero. A positive β2 suggests that as an individual’s education level increases, we would expect earnings to increase as well, holding all other factors constant. Assignment objective: This exercise requires you to do an econometric analysis of the claim presented in the above preamble. The claim relates to well established economic theory and is empirically testable. Usually, an econometric analysis such as this is presented in the style of a report or research article. This assignment will be completed on iKamva and will ‘simulate’ a report structure. The assignment will be broken into five parts on iKamva, each part being a component of a report. In general, some key features of a report are as follows: • Clear and concise introduction: a few sentences that outlines what the report contains and why it should be of interest to the reader. The introduction emphasises what the report is about and why the report was written.
