Census2000
Description
The Census2000 dataset from Acemoglu and Autor (2011) consists of observations on 26,120 nonwhite, female workers. This small dataset is constructed from "microwage2000_ext.dta" at https://economics.mit.edu/people/faculty/david-h-autor/data-archive. Specifically, observations are dropped if hourly wages are missing or years of education are smaller than 6. Then, a 5 percent random sample is drawn to make the dataset small.
