Explain why it takes a multiple regression equation, rathar than a simple regression equation with e explanatory variable, to test for conditional convergence. As part of your explanation, you should: a. Define absolute convergence vs. conditional convergence; b. Describe the variables you would include in a regression equation to test whether there is indeed nditional convergence as the Solow model predicts

Imagine you are an economist working for the Government of Econville. You are tasked with developing a model to predict the GDP of the country based on various factors such as interest rates, inflation, unemployment rate, and population growth. You collect quarterly data for the past 20 years and start building your model. After running your initial regression, you notice some peculiar patterns in the residuals: (1) residuals do not have identical variances across different levels of the independent variables; (2) two or more independent variables in a regression model are highly correlated with each other; (3) the correlation of a variable with its own past values. You suspect that your model might be suffering from 3 potential issues in the regression analysis that can affect reliability and validity. List 2 factors in your model that might be causing the Multicollinearity and give a reason
Hello, please help me to solve the question (c) and (d) below.Consider this regression model (1) : Yt = β0 + β1 Ut + β2 Vt + β3 Wt + β4 Xt + εt ; where t= 1, ..., 75.We use OLS to estimate the parameters, producing the following model:Ŷt = 1.115 + 0.790 Ut − 0.327 Vt + 0.763 Wt + 0.456 Xt (0.405) (0.178) (0.088) (0.274) (0.017) Given that:R2 = 0.941; Durbin Watson stat DW = 1.907; RSS = 0.0757.(To answer the question, use the 5% level of significance, state clearly H0 and H1 that are tested, the test statistics that are used, and interpret the decisions.) (a) Describe the concepts of unbiasedness and efficiency. State the conditions required of regression (1) in order that the OLS estimators of the model parameters possess these properties. (b) Perform the following tests on the parameters of regression (1): (i) test whether the parameters β1, β2, β3 and β4 are individually statistically significant; (ii) test the overall significance of the regression model;…

Explain carefully why running the regression above might suffer from endogeneity concerns: are their any unobservable variables that might confound the results? Should we be worried about reverse causality? What empirical methods could we use to address these concerns?

Prove that the slope of the sample regression function (beta2) is the BLUE if the assumptions of Gauss Marko theorem are satisfied make sure to show all the steps and the underlying assumptions
Explain why in every econometric model there must be an error term, explain its function.
