Question
Heteroscedasticity
Stigler and Friedland (1983) conducted a study to determine whether the separation of company control from company ownership affects company profits. Using data from 69 companies in the United States, the authors estimate the following model:
profiti = α + β1asseti + β2management_controli + ei
Where i is company and:
profiti = annual profit (in million dollar)
asseti = company asset (in million dollar)
management_controli = dummy variable that is worth one if the control of the company is held by the manager
The regression results are presented in the table in the picture
a. Explain whether the statements below are TRUE, FALSE, or CANNOT BE DETERMINED. "If there is a heteroscedasticity problem, the confidence interval of the OLS estimator is not valid."
b. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the parameter 2, what can you conclude?
