𝐾$ × 1. 𝐾$ is the number of regressors in 𝑔-th equation and 𝑥!$ can be the same or different
over equations. If we define 𝑌! = (𝑦!" , … , 𝑦!# )( , 𝑢! = (𝑢!" , … , 𝑢!# )( , 𝛽 = (𝛽" , … , 𝛽# )′ and
𝑥!" ⋯ 0
𝑋! = 9 ⋮ ⋱ ⋮ =, then the system of equations can be written as 𝑌! = 𝑋! 𝛽 + 𝑢!
0 ⋯ 𝑥!#
System OLS estimator
The system OLS estimator is 𝛽>)*+) = (𝑁 ," ∑- ( ,"
!." 𝑋! 𝑋! ) (𝑁
," ∑- (
!." 𝑋! 𝑌! ). The system OLS
estimator is consistent for large 𝑁 and fixed 𝐺 if two conditions hold:
- SOLS.A1: 𝐸(𝑋!( 𝑢! ) = 0
- SOLS.A2: 𝐸(𝑋!( 𝑋! ) is nonsingular.
𝐸(𝑋!( 𝑢! ) = 0 ⟺ 𝐸B𝑥!$ (
𝑢!$ C = 0 for 𝑔 = 1, … , 𝐺. In each equation, errors and regressors are
uncorrelated. But errors in one equation, 𝑢!$ , can be correlated with regressors in another
equation 𝑥!/ for ℎ ≠ 𝑔.
𝐸(𝑋!( 𝑋! ) is nonsingular ⟺ 𝐸B𝑥!$ (
𝑥!$ C is nonsingular for all 𝑔. So, there is no multi-collinearity
in each equation
Normality and SOLS
Under assumptions SOLS.A1 and SOLS.A2, we have √𝑁B𝛽>)*+) − 𝛽C ∼ 𝑁(0, Σ), where
0
Σ = [𝐸(𝑋!( 𝑋! )]," 𝐸(𝑋!( 𝑢! 𝑢!( 𝑋! )[𝐸(𝑋!( 𝑋! )]," . The asymptotic variance is 𝑣𝑎𝑟B𝛽>)*+) C = -.
Consistent estimator of the variance is 𝑉P)*+) = (∑- ( ," -
!." 𝑋! 𝑋! ) (∑!." 𝑋! 𝑢
(
Q ! 𝑢Q!( 𝑋! )(∑- ( ,"
!." 𝑋! 𝑋! ) .
It is a robust variance estimator in the sense that:
- The unconditional variance of errors, 𝐸(𝑢! 𝑢!( ), is entirely unrestricted, so it allows cross
equation correlation as well as different error variances in each equation
- The conditional variance of errors, 𝐸(𝑢! 𝑢!( |𝑋! ), can depend on 𝑋! in an arbitrary unknown
fashion
Hypothesis testing

is the square root of 𝑔𝑘-th diagonal element of 𝑉P)*+)

System OLS vs. equation-by-equation OLS
SOLS estimation of a SUR model without restrictions on parameters 𝛽$ is equivalent to OLS
equation by equation. Equation-by-equation OLS estimator cannot incorporate cross-
equation restrictions, while this is possible for SOLS
Systems with cross equation restrictions
If a regressor from different dependent variables should have the same parameter, this can
be done in two ways:
- Write the regressor and coefficient matrix in the usual way, construct the restriction
matrix 𝑅 such that 𝑅𝛽 = 0. Then compute the restricted estimator of 𝛽 as 𝛽a)*+) =
𝛽>)*+) − (𝑋 ( 𝑋)," 𝑅( (𝑅(𝑋 ( 𝑋)," 𝑅( )," B𝑅𝛽>)*+) C, where 𝛽>)*+) is the unrestricted estimator
- Write the regressor for the different dependent variables in the same column but in a
different row. The coefficient vector then needs one less coefficient. 𝛽>)*+) can be
computed using the standard formula

System GLS estimator
For SGLS we need other assumptions:
- SGLS.A1: 𝐸(𝑋! ⨂ 𝑢! ) = 0. This means that each element of 𝑢! is uncorrelated with each
element of 𝑋! , i.e. errors and regressors are uncorrelated within and across equations
- SGLS.A2: Ω ≡ 𝐸(𝑢! 𝑢!( ) is positive definite (variance positive) and 𝐸(𝑋!( Ω," 𝑋! ) is
nonsingular (not satisfied if ∑#$." 𝑦!$ = constant)
If SGLS.A1 and SGLS.A2 hold, we can use SGLS. It can be obtained similarly as in the single
equation model: 𝛽>)#+) = (𝑁 ," ∑- ( ,"
!." 𝑋! Ω 𝑋! ) (𝑁
," ," ∑- ( ,"
!." 𝑋! Ω 𝑌! ), which is consistent
Normality and SGLS
Under assumptions SGLS.A1 and SGLS.A2, we have √𝑁B𝛽>)#+) − 𝛽C ∼ 𝑁(0, Σ)#+) ), where
Σ)#+) = [𝐸(𝑋!( Ω," 𝑋! )]," 𝐸(𝑋!( Ω," 𝑢! 𝑢!( Ω," 𝑋! )[𝐸(𝑋!( Ω," 𝑋! )]," . The asymptotic variance of
0
𝛽>)#+) is 𝑣𝑎𝑟B𝛽>)#+) C = "#$"-
Feasible GLS
SGLS requires Ω, which is in most applications not possible. Hence, we use FGLS estimation.
In FGLS we replace the unknown matrix Ω with a consistent estimator.
1. Apply SOLS estimation, and obtain the SOLS residuals 𝑢Q!
2. Consistently estimate Ω by Ω l = 𝑁 ," ∑- !." 𝑢Q ! 𝑢Q!(

3. Given Ω l , the FGLS estimator of 𝛽 is 𝛽>5#+) = B𝑁 ," ∑- ( l ,"

FGLS vs. SGLS
FGLS and SGLS are asymptotic equivalent. This implicates that:
- FGLS estimator is consistent as SGLS
- FGLS estimator follows normal distribution asymptotically
- In finite sample, especially with small sample size 𝑁, the actual distribution of FGLS is likely
to be non-normal

robust) estimator of 𝑣𝑎𝑟B𝛽5#+) C, where 𝑢Q! = 𝑌! − 𝑋! 𝛽5#+) is de FGLS residual
FGLS vs. SOLS
FGLS is asymptotically more efficient than SOLS if one additional assumption holds:
- SGLS.A3: 𝐸(𝑋!( Ω," 𝑢! 𝑢!( Ω," 𝑋! ) = 𝐸(𝑋!( Ω," 𝑋! ) (errors homoskedastic in each equation)
If the errors are heteroskedastic within each equation, e.g. 𝑣𝑎𝑟(𝑢!" ) = 0.3𝑥",! , then SGLS.A3
fails. Under SGLS.A1 – SGLS.A3, 𝑣𝑎𝑟B𝛽>5#+) C = (∑- ( ,"
!." 𝑋! Ω 𝑋! )
,"
is the asymptotic variance
> > >
of 𝛽5#+) . Since 𝑣𝑎𝑟B𝛽)*+) C − 𝑣𝑎𝑟B𝛽5#+) C is always positive semi-definite, FGLS is more
efficient than SOLS. It is not robust since it relies on SGLS.A3 (the robust variance allows
variance of 𝑢! to be any format). Hypothesis testing using FGLS are similar to SOLS. Choose
the appropriate variance estimator depending on the validity of SGLS.A3
FGLS vs. SOLS: summarized comparison
Two cases SOLS and FGLS are equivalent for SUR
- Ω l is a diagonal matrix (zero correlation between errors in different equations -> equations
are actually unrelated). In applications Ω l would not be diagonal unless we impose a
diagonal structure
- 𝑥!" = 𝑥!& = ⋯ = 𝑥!# for all 𝑖, that is, the same regressors show up in each equation (for
all observations)
