QUESTION 4 In order to estimate the effect on wage of years of schooling, researcher B analysed the dataset that researcher A collected in Question 3. Researcher B considers the following regression equation log (income), =Bo+B₁educ; + www + Ui where educ; is years of schooling for individual i and includes additional terms associated with other characteristics in the dataset. When research B was carefully examining omitted factors in the error term U₁, she realised that unobserved factors such as motivation, and work ethic; would determine the income level and be correlated with the variable of interest, educ;. If researcher B's conjecture regarding the unobserved factors is correct, then: Hint: see page 1 to page 13 of Lecture Note 4. a. The OLS estimator B₁ would not be computed. b. The OLS estimator B₁ would be biased. The OLS estimator B₁ would suffer imperfect multicollinearity. d. The OLS estimator B₁ would have a large standard error.
