Heteroskedastic disturbances

𝐸𝐸 [𝜀𝜀𝜀𝜀 ′ ] = Ω = ⎛ 0 𝜎𝜎22 ⋯ 0⎞
⋮ ⋮ ⋱ ⋮
⎝0 0 ⋯ 𝜎𝜎𝑛𝑛2 ⎠

Violation of assumption 3 (homoskedasticity).


White standard errors

⋅ White standard errors are heteroskedasticity consistent.

An estimator of 𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖2 is given by 𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑖2 , the square of the OLS residual 𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑖 = 𝑦𝑦𝑖𝑖 − 𝑥𝑥𝑖𝑖′ 𝑏𝑏.
The square roots of the diagonal elements are the White standard errors.


Model for variance

𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖2 = ℎ(𝑧𝑧𝑖𝑖′ 𝛾𝛾)

⋅ ℎ: a known function
⋅ 𝑧𝑧 = �1, 𝑧𝑧1 , … , 𝑧𝑧𝑝𝑝 �′, a vector of 𝑝𝑝 observed variables that influence the variances
⋅ 𝛾𝛾: a vector of 𝑝𝑝 unknown parameters


Additive heteroskedasticity: ℎ(𝑧𝑧′𝛾𝛾) = 𝑧𝑧′𝛾𝛾
′
Multiplicative heteroskedasticity: ℎ(𝑧𝑧′𝛾𝛾) = 𝑒𝑒 𝑧𝑧 𝛾𝛾
⋅ Multiplicative heteroskedasticity model always gives positive variances.

This follows because
𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖2 = 𝜎𝜎 2 𝑣𝑣𝑖𝑖

where 𝑣𝑣𝑖𝑖 > 0 is known and 𝜎𝜎 2 is an unknown scalar parameter.


Weighted least squares (WLS)

The transformed model satisfies assumptions 1 to 6.
Therefore, the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of 𝛽𝛽 is obtained by applying least squares in the
transformed model.
