B. the dependent variable is binary.
C. an interaction term is omitted.
D. the coefficient of a key variable is zero.
Which of the following is true?
A functional form misspecification can occur if the level of a variable is used when the logarithm is more appropriate.
B. A functional form misspecification occurs only if a key variable is uncorrelated with the error term. .
C. A functional form misspecification does not lead to biasedness in the ordinary least squares estimators.
D. A functional form misspecification does not lead to inconsistency in the ordinary least squares estimators.
Which of the following assumptions is needed for the plug-in solution to the omitted variables problem to provide consistent estimators?
A. The error term in the regression model exhibits heteroskedasticity.
B. The error term in the regression model is uncorrelated with all the independent variables.
