This document discusses multicollinearity, which occurs when independent variables in a regression model are highly correlated. It can cause problems like unstable coefficient estimates and wider confidence intervals. The document asks questions about defining multicollinearity, sources that cause it, how perfect multicollinearity makes OLS estimators indeterminate, consequences like unclear independent variable effects, and methods for detecting multicollinearity using auxiliary regressions, tolerance, and variance inflation factors. Remedial measures are also mentioned.

1. State the nature of multicollinearity. Is multicollinearity necessarily a problem? How?
2. What are the probable sources that may give rise to multicollinearity? 3. Show that in the presence of perfect multicollinearity, the OLS estimators are indeterminate. 4. What are the practical consequences of multicollinearity? Explain two of them? 5. How can we detect multicollinearity by regressing auxiliary regressions? 6. How can we detect multicollinearity by using tolerance (TOL) and variance inflation factor (VIF)? 7. Mention and explain two remedial measures of the Multicollinearity.
