hedonic wage equation

[graingerad12]

Hello! I was just wondering if someone could please help me with a problem. I am trying to use OLS to estimate a linear hedonic wage equation with wages as a function of gender, race, age, age^2, and fatality risks. 

the variables are defined as:

wage = worker's hourly wage rate

male = 1 if worker is male and =0 otherwise

white = 1 if worker's race is white = 0 otherwise

age = workers age in years

fatrate = worker's risk of fatality measured in terms of deaths per 100,000 workers. 

how would the code even look like? Do i need to create a matrix, and if so, how? 

thank you!

Look at proc REG or GLM. 

The documentation has good examples. 

You do not need to create a matrix, a SAS dataset is enough to get started.

I see there are Binary Variables and OLS mainly used in LR model (as per i know ) You can check Logistic regression i you wish to ..

Hedonic function depends on fatrate... Hmmm

Since dependent variable is continuous you can use regression.

proc reg data=have;

model wage = male white age fatrate;

run;quit;
