True or false.
If two estimators are unbiased, they are equally good and it does not matter which one you use.
Justify your answer in a sentence or two.
This statement is False because unbiasness is just one of the properties of good estimator. If two estimators are unbiased, we should choose the one with smaller variance because that estimate would be better as compared to other.

[3] TRUE or FALSE: In the presence of autocorrelation, the OLS estimators remain unbiased but are no longer efficient. [4] TRUE or FALSE: In the presence of autocorrelation, the estimated OLS variances will be unbiased estimators of the correct OLS variances. [5] TRUE or FALSE: The core time series models are the regression or static model, the autoregressive model, the distributed lag model, and the autoregressive distributed lag model.
If there are two unbiased estimators of a parameter, the one whose variance is A is said to be relatively efficient.
(a) Are they unbiased estimators for µ?
(b) Compute the MSE for all the 4 estimators.
(c) Which one is the best estimator for µ? Why.
PLEASE answer all parts, thanks
Let X1, X2, ..., X, be and i.i.d. sample from some distribution with mean y and variance o? Let us construct several estimators for . Let îi = X, iz = X1, A3 = (X1 + X2)/2, W = X1 + X2 (a) Are they unbiased estimators for ?...
Answer each question by writing TRUE or FALSE 1. For OLS estimators to be linear the explanatory variables must be variable, non- stochastic and fixed in repeated samples. Under the conditions of perfect multicollinearity, the OLS estimators are not unique. The presence of heteroskedasticity causes the OLS method to overestimate the variances 2. 3. of the parameters. The Breusch-Godfrey LM test is applicable when a lagged dependent variable is used. If we include a non-influential variable in an equation the...
Part I: True/False and Justify: For each of the following statements, choose whether it is true or false and justify your choice with a short sentence. 1. One challenge associated with poor households' investment in health is that many health investments have important externalities. 2. If a good or service is not traded on markets, there is no way to value it. 3. In Cost-Benefit Analysis, quantifying benefits is more difficult than quantifying costs.
Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices A.an unbiased estimator is consistent if its variance goes to zero as the sample size gets large. B.a biased estimator is consistent if its bias goes to zero as the sample size gets large. C. a consistent estimator is biased in small samples. D.all unbiased estimators are consistent. E. all consistent estimators are unbiased.
“A public good will always be under-provided in a free market.” Is this claim true, false or ambiguous? Justify your answer (please write as much as you can)
Estimators are used in two different ways: point estimation and confidence estimation. (1) True. (2) False.
