Abstract

In this article we obtain different marginal effects for continuous variables in the context of a double selection regression model, in which it is assumed that the model's disturbances have a normal distribution. Using data of Spanish women, we illustrate these effects by estimating a double selection regression model for the analysis of the economic return from education in the context of the Mincerian wage equation.
