Chow test in Eviews

Problem

Using the data wages1, run a regression of wage on exper and school. Instead of running one regression using all observations (pooled), we could run two regressions, one regression each for each gender. Perform a Chow test to test the null, “There is no significant improvement in fit from running two regressions”. Use the built-in Chow test in your econometric package to find the same \(F\) -value.

Hint For this to work, data must be ordered such that we have the entire subsample A before the entire subsample A. For wages1 this is already the case. Observations 1-1569 are female and 1570-3294 are male. Go to View, Stability diagnostics, Chow Breakpoint Test. For “breakpoint dates” enter 1570 (the first observation for the second subsample).
