health, we run the following regression:
hypertension, = a + Beduc; + YX¡ + Ei
where hypertension is a dummy variable equals one if a person suffers from
hypertension and zero otherwise, educ is years of schooling, and X is a vector of
demographic variables such as age, gender, and ethnicity.
(a)
Show that educ in the regression above is likely to be endogenous and discuss
the consequences of this on the OLS estimators.
(b)
Evaluate whether a government policy that requires children to complete twelve
