question 7

Multiple Choice

• B)Including only the factors that predict wage but not participation as controls and running a multiple linear regression
• C)Including only the factors that predict participation but not wage as controls and running a multiple linear regression
• D)​ Including factors that predict both wage and participation as controls and running a multiple linear regression
