The questions below are based on a dataset containing the characteristics of 5,407 households. In particular, we will use the following variables: - size: home size, measured in square feet. - hhinc: annual household net income, measured in euros. - owner: dummy variable equal to 1 if the living space is owned, and 0 if the living space is rented. - hhsize1: dummy variable equal to 1 if the number of household’s members is 1 or 2, and 0 otherwise. - hhsize2: dummy variable equal to 1 if the number of household’s members is 3 or 4, and 0 otherwise. - hhsize3: dummy variable equal to 1 if the number of household’s members is 5 or above 5, and 0 otherwise. - edu: education level of household’s members. We conduct a simple regression of size on hhinc, now using robust standard errors. The regression output is reported in Table 2. Why are the estimated coefficients in Table 2 equal to the estimated coefficients in Table 1? Do the conclusions on the statistical significance at 5% of the coefficient of hhinc change between Tables 1 and 2?
