In Problem 4.2, we added the return on the firm’s stock, ros, to a model explaining CEO salary; ros turned out to be insignificant. Now, define a dummy variable, rosneg, which is equal to one if ros _ 0 and equal to zero if ros _ 0. Use CEOSAL1.RAW to estimate the model

(i)
The model estimated in Computer Exercise C5 in Chapter 7 is:

In order to apply usual OLS form RESET to test for the evidence of the functional form mis-specification in the equation, it is required to follow four steps:
1) Estimate the model and compute the estimated 
2) Take the quadratic and cubic form of 
3) Add
and
as the explanatory variables in the model such that the model becomes: 
4) Test for the joint significance of
and
Step1:
Estimating the model and computing the estimated
The estimate of
is obtained by fitting the equation:
The
is represented by log (SALARY) _hat
Step2:
In order to estimate the quadratic and cubic values for
, obtain
and
by taking the square and cube of
respectively
They are represented as lsalary_hatsq and lsalary_hatcu respectively
Step3:
Estimate the model given by:

The result is:
