Description

This data frame contains 2675 rows and 10 columns. These data are pertinent to an investigation of the way that earnings changed, between 1974-1975 and 1978, in the absence of training. Data for the experimental treatment group (NSW) were combined with control data results from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) study.

Usage

age: age (in years).
educ: years of education.
black: (0 = not black, 1 = black).
hisp: (0 = not hispanic, 1 = hispanic).
marr: (0 = not married, 1 = married).
