a) Given that is normally distributed, we can say that the expected value is
and Variance
Since is a constant, any linear combination of constants with will also be normally distributed.
Hence, is normally distributed
with mean
and variance
ans:
b) Since is normally distributed with mean and variance
we can write the pdf of using the normal distribution as
Assuming that are independent, we can write the joint pdf of as the product of marginal pdfs
The above joint pdf is the likelihood function written as
ans: If we want to estimate , the likelihood function we would maximize is

Consider the model, Yi = Bo + B1 Xi + Uj, where you suspect Xi is endogenous. You have an exogenous instrument and you estimate the first stage to recover the residuals, Vhati. You want to test for endogeneity so you estimate the following model using OLS: Y; = Bo + B1 Xì + B2 Vhat; + Uj. The estimation results from 100 observations are in the table: Coefficient Standard Errors constant 2.96 0.47 X 0.75 0.85 Vhat 0.37 0.15...
