Testing the equality of two regression coefficients. Suppose that you are given the following regression model: Yi = β1 + β2X2i + β3X3i + ui and you want to test the hypothesis that β2 = β3. If we assume that the ui are normally distributed, it can be shown that t = βˆ 2 − βˆ 3  var (βˆ 2) + var (βˆ 3) − 2 cov (βˆ 2, βˆ 3) follows the t distribution with n − 3 df (see Section 8.6). (In general, for the k-variable case the df are n − k.) Therefore, the preceding t test can be used to test the null hypothesis β2 = β3. Apply the preceding t test to test the hypothesis that the true values of β2 and β3 in the regression (C.10.14) are identical. Hint: Use the var-cov matrix of β given in (C.10.9).
