Question
Consider a linear causal model
Ya+BX+yW+u,
with cov(X, W) > 0. Suppose we do not observe the variable
W and have to omit it from the regression, then
O
OLS
is expected to be larger than 3 in large samples.
BOLS is expected to be equal to 3 in large samples.
OLS is expected to be smaller than 3 in large samples.
Since we do not know whether X and u are correlated and the
sign of y, there is not enough information to compare OLS
and B.
