1 Addendum to NOTE 4 Samplng Dstrbutons of OLS Estmators of β and β Monte Carlo Smulatons The True Model: s gven by the populaton regresson equaton (PRE) Y = β + β X + u = X + u () where β = 7. and β =.9; Y = weekly consumpton expendtures of the -th household; X = weekly dsposable ncome of the -th household; u = an d random error term that s assumed to be N(, σ ). Four Alternatve Models: specfy dfferent values for σ = Var( u X ). Model : sets σ = Var( u X ) =,6, σ = Var( u X ) se( u X ) = 4. = Model : sets σ = Var( u X ) = 6,4, σ = Var( u X ) se( u X ) = 8. = Model 3: sets σ = Var( u X ) = 5,6, σ = Var( u X ) se( u X ) = 6. = Model 4: sets σ = Var( u X ) = 6,, σ = Var( u X ) se( u X ) = 4. =...

2 The Monte Carlo Smulatons Four dfferent sample szes: N = 3, N = 6, N =, N = 3. Set populaton values of X, β and β, and σ = Var( u X ). Generate, ndependent random samples of Y and u values. For each of these, ndependent random samples, compute the values of the OLS coeffcent estmators: ˆ x y β = () x β ˆ = Y ˆ X (3) β where x X X, y Y Y, X = X, and Y = Y. N N Tabulate and plot the, estmates of β and the, estmates of β,.e., the, values of ˆβ and the, values of ˆβ. OLS estmates ˆβ of β are denoted as b. OLS estmates ˆβ of β are denoted as b....
