Is it possible to test the same null hypothesis as in the previous question,

but using a different test statistic, given the information presented in this output?

d)No, because we still would need the coefficient variance-covariance matrix to

compute any type of test statistic

13. Consider a multiple linear regression model for cross-sectional data. If the Gauss-Markov assumptions hold, then:
a)Ds The OLS estimator will be consistent and unbiased
b)We can only guarantee the OLS estimator is unbiased
c)The OLS estimator is consistent only if the sample size is very large
d)The OLS estimator will be biased
e)Both b) and c) above are correct
f)Both c) and d) above are correct
g)Both a) and d) above are correct

14. If under certain assumptions the OLS estimator is BLUE, Best Linear Unbiased Estimator, then we can conclude that it is:
a)the minimum variance unbiased estimator
b)an unbiased estimator
c)a linear estimator
d)an estimator
e)both b), c) and d) above are NOT correct
f)both b), c) and d) above are correct

16. Consider a multiple linear regression model where the Zero Conditional Mean assumption fails, but the remaining Gauss-Markov assumptions hold. Specifically, suppose E[u|X]=δ, where u is the vector of error terms, X is the matrix of regressors and δ has at least one element different than zero. What can you say about the bias (E[ |X]-β) of the OLS estimator in this situation?

a)the OLS estimator is still BLUE
b)the bias equals (X´X)-1X´ δ

c)50%
d)0%
e)100%
f)either 50% or 100%
g)none of the answers above is correct
