HETEROSCEDASTICITY: What happens


If the error variance is nonconstant ?

Presented by:Mohammad

ID:17066

Nature of heteroscedasticity
An important assumption of CLRM

E(ui)= 2
If E(ui) 2, the situation known as

heteroscedastic
- found in cross-sectional data
- scale effect

Consequences of heteroscadesticity
OLS estimators

-linear
-unbiased
- no longer minimum variance
2=e2/d.f (biased)
Unreliable t and F distribution

Detection of
heteroscedasticity
Nature of the problem
Graphical examination of residuals

Park test

ln 2i = 1 + 2 ln Xi + vi
Glejser test

ei = 1 + 2 Xi + vi
ei = 1 + 2 Xi + vi
ei = 1 + 2 1/Xi + vi

Whites general test heteroscedasricity

test
-run the original regression model and
obtain the residuals
- run the following auxiliary
regression

ei2=A 1 +A 2
X2i+A3X3i+A4X22+A5X23i+A6X2iX3i+Vi
-n.R2x2k-1

Remedial measures
When 2i known

- weighted least squares method


When 2i unknown
-the error variance proportional to
xi
- the error variance proportional to
x2i
Respecification of the model
