问题如下:
If an omitted variable is correlated with variables already included in the model, coefficient estimates will be biased and inconsistent and standard errors will also be inconsistent. Is this Statement correct?
选项:
A.Yes.
B.No, because the model’s coefficient estimates will be unbiased.
C.No, because the model’s coefficient estimates will be consistent.
解释:
A is correct.
Chang is correct because a correlated omitted variable will result in biased and inconsistent parameter estimates and inconsistent standard errors.
还是不是很懂。If an omitted variable is correlated with variables already included in the model, coefficient estimates will be biased and inconsistent and standard errors will also be inconsistent. Is this Statement correct?
- 虽然在missspecification里的第一点提到了omitted的变量,但是那里的条件并没有omitted variable is correlated with variables already included in the model这句话,为什么coefficient的estimates还是不准?
- 另外consistency不是说样本量越多,结果越准确吗?在之前提到的三种assumptionviolation里面,多重共线性里系数的估计也不准确了,但是仍然不会影响consistency。这里为什么就会影响到consistency?难道遗漏了变量就不是样本量越多越准确了吗?
