1. You are interested the causal effect of X1 on Y, B1. Suppose that X1 and X2 are uncorrelated. You estimate B, by regressing Y onto X1 (so that X2 is not included in the regression). Does this estimator suifer from omitted variable bias due to the exclusion of X2? (a) Yes (b) No (c) Maybe 2. Omitted variable bias violates which of the following assumptions: (a) The conditional distribution of u, given X1, X2i, ...Xi has a mean of zero (b) (Xi, X21... Y), i = 1,., n are independently and identically distributed (c) Heteroskedasticity (d) Perfect multicollinearity

Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. You are interested the causal effect of X on Y, B1. Suppose that X, and X2 are uncorrelated.
You estimate B1 by regressing Y onto X1 (so that X2 is not included in the regression). Does
this estimator suffer from omitted variable bias due to the exclusion of X2?
(a) Yes
(b) No
(c) Maybe
2. Omitted variable bias violates which of the following assumptions:
(a) The conditional distribution of u, given X1i X2i, ...Xki has a mean of zero
(b) (Xi, X2i...Y;), i = 1, ., n are independently and identically distributed
(c) Heteroskedasticity
(d) Perfect multicollinearity
