Question

Question 5 A researcher proposes the following alternative method of estimating the slope of a simple regression model Y; = B1 B2X; u. First, compute: Y Y Y Xi X X* = by solving Then, obtain 2 min (x The researcher claims that 3; = B2, where 2 is the OLS estimator. Do you agree disagree? or Question 6 Consider the following model: What is the OLS estimator for 6,? What does this imply for the R2 of the regres- sion?

Answer 1

TOPIC:OLS estimator of regression coefficients.
