Heteroscedasticity and weighted least square estimator

Let $\hat{\beta}$ be the OLS estimator of $\beta$ in $$y_t = \beta x_t + u_t$$ Let $\tilde{\beta}$ be the OLS estimator of $\beta$ in $$\dfrac{y_t}{\sqrt{k_t}} = \beta \dfrac{x_t}{\sqrt{k_t}} + \dfrac{...

possible Heteroskedasticity?

The question should be: Does there appear to be enough heteroskedasticity so that not taking it into account would lower the quality of inference? And this is because "taking heteroskedasticity into ...

Annual Data and Heteroscedasticity (Engle's ARCH test)

Is there evidence for time varying second moments in annual economic data? Yes, although not that much in finance in particular but in economics in general resounding yes. For example, the highly ...

Heteroskedasticity assumption in fGLS into linear form?

I'm using the 4th edition, but the content should be the same. It sounds like you are asking how he got from $$ Var(u|\boldsymbol{x}) = \sigma^2exp(\delta_0 +\delta_1x_1+\delta_2x_2+...+\delta_kx_k) ...

Testing for heteroskedasticity in panel data vs time series?

You can regress residual squares (from RE or FE depending on your estimation) on $X_{it} \hat\beta$ and its square using the clustered standard errors (the ...

Understanding General Least Squares

The Ω matrix is the matrix of the variance of the error term for each observation. Since we do not observe the true error term, we cannot find the true Ω, but we can try to estimate it. There are ...

Heteroskedasticity assumption in fGLS into linear form?

Let us write $\mathbf{x}\delta = \delta_0 + \delta_1 x_1 + \cdots + \delta_k x_k$ for notational brevity. If $u^2 = \sigma^2 \exp(\mathbf{x}\delta) v$, where $E(v|\mathbf{x})=1$, then it is indeed ...
