4 6. Misspecification EXAMPLE 6.1 Misspecification in a for determination of wages (file wage06sp) Initial wage = b + b educ + b tenure + u Augmented 1 3 wage = educ tenure i i i (1.55) (0.146) (0.071) R init = 0.49 n= wage = b + b educ + b tenure + a wage + a wage + u F Raugm = 0.89 R R r 4.18 (1 R ) / ( nh) ( augm init )/ augm [4]

Applying OLS to the, hostel b1+ binc + u using data from table 6.5, the following estimated is obtained: hostel i = inc (3.48) (0.0065) The residuals corresponding to this fitted appear in table 6.6. i

The BPG statistics is: uˆ i 1 inci i uˆ inc R (0.05) 1 BPG nr ar ( ) = = = 5.05 Step 4. Given that =3.84, the null hypothesis of homoskedasticity is rejected for a significance level of 5%, but not for the significance level of 1%. [10]

11 6.5 Heteroskedasticity [11] EXAMPLE 6.6 Application of the White test Step 1. This step is the same as in the Breusch-Pagan-Godfrey test. Step. The regressors of the auxiliary regression will be Step 3. The W statistic: W 1i i 3i 1 i 1inc inc i i 1 i 3 i i uˆ inc inc i i i uˆ inc inc R (0.10) i ( ) = nr = = Step 4. Given that =4.61, the null hypothesis of homoskedasticity is rejected for a 10% significance level because W=nR >4.61, but not for significance levels of 5% and 1%.
