2. Consider the following estimated regression equation (standard errors in parentheses): Yi-120+ 0.10Ft + 5.33Rt (0.05) (1.00) R² = 0.5 i. ii. iii. A where Yi = the corn yield (bushels/ha) in year t Ft = fertilizer intensity (pounds/ha) in year t Rt = rainfall (inches) in year t Interpret the meaning of the intercept. Suppose you are told that the true value of BF (coefficient on fertilizer intensity) is known to be 0.20. Does this show that the estimate is biased? Why or why not? Suppose you were told that the equation does not meet all the classical assumptions and, therefore, the OLS estimator used is not BLUE. Does this mean that the true BR (coefficient on rainfall) is definitely not equal to 5.33? Why or why not?
