An alternative to explicitly modelling the heteroskedasticity is using a resampling method such as the wild bootstrap. Given that the studentized bootstrap, which standardizes the resampled statistic by its standard error, yields an asymptotic refinement, [13] heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors remain nevertheless useful.
Heteroscedasticity-consistent standard errors (HCSE), while still biased, improve upon OLS estimates. [2] HCSE is a consistent estimator of standard errors in regression models with heteroscedasticity. This method corrects for heteroscedasticity without altering the values of the coefficients.
To test for constant variance one undertakes an auxiliary regression analysis: this regresses the squared residuals from the original regression model onto a set of regressors that contain the original regressors along with their squares and cross-products. [3] One then inspects the R 2.
Step 3: Select the equation with the highest R 2 and lowest standard errors to represent heteroscedasticity. Step 4: Perform a t-test on the equation selected from step 3 on γ 1 . If γ 1 is statistically significant, reject the null hypothesis of homoscedasticity.
In Stata, the command newey produces Newey–West standard errors for coefficients estimated by OLS regression. [13] In MATLAB, the command hac in the Econometrics toolbox produces the Newey–West estimator (among others). [14] In Python, the statsmodels [15] module includes functions for the covariance matrix using Newey–West.
The wage equation can be estimated by replacing with Probit estimates from the first stage, constructing the term, and including it as an additional explanatory variable in linear regression estimation of the wage equation.
In a sample of T residuals under the null hypothesis of no ARCH errors, the test statistic T'R² follows distribution with q degrees of freedom, where ′ is the number of equations in the model which fits the residuals vs the lags (i.e. ′ =).
Consider the model ^ = {} =. The Ramsey test then tests whether (), (), …, has any power in explaining y.This is executed by estimating the following linear regression = + ^ + + ^ +,
