Consider the regression model y=β0+β1x1+β2x2+u Suppose this is estimated by Feasible Weighted Least Squares (FWLS) assuming a conditional variance function Varux=σ2h(x). Which of the following statements is correct? |
A) The function h(x) does not need to be estimated as part of the procedure B) If the assumption about the conditional variance of the error term is incorrect, then FWLS is still consistent. C) FWLS is the best linear unbiased estimator when there is heteroscedasticity. D) None of the above answers are correct |
Assuming a conditional variance function Varux=σ2h(x), so,When the variance of the observed values is not equal, there is heteroscedasticity. Feasible weighted least squares is the best linear unbaised estimator when there is heteroscedasticity. So, C is the correct option

1. Consider the following simple regression model: y = β0 + β1x1 + u (1) and the following multiple regression model: y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + u (2), where x1 is the variable of primary interest to explain y. Which of the following statements is correct? a. When drawing ceteris paribus conclusions about how x1 affects y, with model (1), we must assume that x2, and all other factors contained in u, are uncorrelated with x1. b....
Suppose you fit the multiple regression model y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + ϵ to n = 30 data points and obtain the following result: y ̂=3.4-4.6x_1+2.7x_2+0.93x_3 The estimated standard errors of β ̂_2 and β ̂_3 are 1.86 and .29, respectively.
