This specification is widely used in the human capital literature where economic theory suggests that earnings should be in logarithmic form when estimating the. This model is handy when the relationship is nonlinear in parameters, because the log transformation generates the desired linearity in parameters you may recall that linearity in parameters is one of the ols assumptions. Surely, some of this variation is due to work experience, unionization, industry, occupation, region, and. The predicted values from the loglog model are saved in the variable named yhat2.
