Question:
Consider the following system of simultaneous regression equations:
yi = β1 + β2x2i + β3x3i + β4x4i + β5x5i + ei
Assuming that all the parameters are non-zero, which of the following statements is true?
a. The OLS procedure is inconsistent for equations 1 and 2, but may be consistent for Equation 3. :_; b. The OLS procedure is inconsistent for equations 1, 2 and 3.
The OLS procedure is inconsistent for Equation 1, but may be consistent for equations 2 and 3.
d. The OLS procedure is inconsistent for equations 2 and 3, but may be consistent for Equation 1. ,e. The OLS procedure is inconsistent for equations 1 and 3, but may be consistent for Equation 2.
f. The OLS procedure is inconsistent for Equation 3, but may be consistent for equations land 2.
g. Equations 1,2 and 3 may all be consistently estimated using the OLS procedure.
h. The OLS procedure is inconsistent for Equation 2, but may be consistent for equations 1and 3.
