7 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 4: Linear Regression with One Regressor Define and interpret the stochastic error term (or noise component). The error term contains all the other factors aside from (X) that determine the value of the dependent variable (Y) for a specific observation. Y i 0 1X i u i 7

10 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 4: Linear Regression with One Regressor Describe the method and assumptions of ordinary least squares for estimation of parameters: Estimate (conditional) mean of dependent variable The conditional distribution of u(i) given X(i) has a mean of zero Test hypotheses about nature of dependence To forecast the mean value of the dependent [X(i), Y(i)] are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Correlation (dependence) is not causation Large outliers are unlikely 10

11 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 4: Linear Regression with One Regressor Define and interpret the explained sum of squares, the total sum of squares, and the residual sum of squares Total (TSS) = Explained (ESS) + residual (SSR) n i 1 ˆ 2 i ESS Y Y SSR uˆ i 1 n i 1 2 i 2 TSS Y Y n i R 2 SSR SER n k 1 ESS SSR 1 TSS TSS 11

12 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 4: Linear Regression with One Regressor Define and interpret the standard error of the regression (SER), and the regression R2. Total (TSS) = Explained (ESS) + residual (SSR) In the case of one regressor: In the general case of k = number of regressors (aka, independent variables): SER 2 e i SSR n 2 n 2 SER n SSR k 1 R 2 ESS 1 TSS SSR TSS 12

14 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 4: Linear Regression with One Regressor Practice Question A five-year regression of monthly cotton price changes, such that the number of observations (n) equals 60, against average temperature changes produced a standard error of the regression (SER) of $1.20. If the total sum of squares (TSS) was $ dollars 2, what is the implied correlation coefficient? 14

15 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 4: Linear Regression with One Regressor Practice Question A five-year regression of monthly cotton price changes, such that the number of observations (n) equals 60, against average temperature changes produced a standard error of the regression (SER) of $1.20. If the total sum of squares (TSS) was $ dollars 2, what is the implied correlation coefficient? As SER = SQRT[SSR/(n-df)], SSR = SER^2*(n-df). In this case (again, 2 coefficients = 2 df): SSR = 1.20^2*(60-2) = 83.52; R^2 = ESS/TSS = 1 - SSR/TSS = / = correlation = SQRT( ) =

Limit = Coefficient ± [standard error critical c%] = Confidence Interval Coefficient SE Lower Upper Intercept Slope (B1)

19 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 7: Hypothesis Tests and Confidence Intervals in Multiple Regression Define and differentiate between homoskedasticity and heteroskedasticity. The error term u(i) is homoskedastic if the variance of the conditional distribution of u(i) given X(i) is constant for i = 1,,n and in particular does not depend on X(i). Otherwise the error term is heteroskedastic. 19

20 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 7: Hypothesis Tests and Confidence Intervals in Multiple Regression Describe the implications of homoskedasticity and heteroskedasticity. Implications of homoskedasticity: the OLS estimators remain unbiased and asymptotically normal. If heteroskedasticity, can use heteroskedastic-robust standard errors. 20

21 P1.T2. Stock & Watson, Chapter 5: Regression with a Single Regressor: Hypothesis Tests and Confidence Interva Explain the Gauss-Markov Theorem and its limitations, and alternatives to the OLS. The Gauss Markov theorem provides a theoretical justification for using OLS, but has two key limitations: 1. Its conditions might not hold in practice. In particular, if the error term is heteroskedastic as it often is in economic applications then the OLS estimator is no longer BLUE An alternative to OLS when there is heteroskedasticity of a known form, called the weighted least squares estimator. 2. Even if the conditions of the theorem hold, there are other candidate estimators that are not linear and conditionally unbiased; under some conditions, these other estimators are more efficient than OLS. 21

Estimating σ 2. We can do simple prediction of Y and estimation of the mean of Y at any value of X. Estimating σ 2 We can do simple prediction of Y and estimation of the mean of Y at any value of X. To perform inferences about our regression line, we must estimate σ 2, the variance of the error term.
