Consequences of heteroscedasticity
1. OLS estimators are still linear and unbiased
^
2. Var ( i )s are not minimum.
=> not the best => not efficiency => not BLUE

plot the estimated residual ( ^i ) or squared (^i 2 ) against the
^ ) or any independent
predicted dependent Variable (Y

variable(Xi).

Statistical test: (i) Park test
H0 : No heteroscedasticity exists
(homoscedasticity)
i.e.,
Var( i ) = 2
H1 : Yes, heteroscedasticity exists
i.e.,
Var( i ) = i2
Park test procedures:
1. Run OLS on regression: Yi = 1 + 2 Xi + i , obtain ^i
2. Take square and take log : ln ( ^2)
i
3. Run OLS on regression:
ln ( ^
i2) = 1* + 2* ln Xi + vi
4. Use t-test to test H0 : 2* = 0 (Homoscedasticity)
Suspected variable
that causes
heteroscedasticity
If t* > tc ==> reject H0
==> heteroscedasticity exists
If t* < tc ==> not reject H0
==> homoscedasticity

Test procedures:
(1) Run OLS on regression: Yi = 0 + 1X1i + 2X2i +...+ qXqi + i
obtain the residuals, ^i
(2) Run the auxiliary regression:
^i2 = 0 + 1 X1i + 2X2i +… +qXqi + vi
(3) Compute LM=W=

Or F=

R2u / q

(4) Compare the W and 2df (where the df is #(q) of regressors in (2))

10.28

heteroscedasticity is existed.

Testing the log-log model
10.29
W=
2(0.05, 9) = 16.92
2(0.10, 9) = 14.68
Decision rule: W < 2df => not reject H0
The White test for a log-log model
The test statistic indicates
heteroscedasticity is not existed
Using the log-log transformation
in some cases may remedy
the heteroscedasticity,
(But not necessary).

Remedy :Weighted Least Squares (WLS)
Suppose :
Yi = 0 + 1 X1i + 2 X2i + i
E(i) = 0, E(i j )= 0
ij
Vqr (i2) = i2 = 2 [f (ZX2i)] = 2Zi2
If Var(i2)=2Zi
If all Zi = 1 (or any constant), homoscedasticity returns.
But Zi can be any value, and it is the proportionality factor.
In the case of 2 was known :To correct the heteroscedasticity
Transform the regression:
Yi
1
X1i
X2i
i
=0
+ 1
+ 2
+
Zi
Zi
Zi
Zi
Zi
=> Y* = 0 X0* + 1 X1* + 2 X2* + i*
All right reserved by Dr.Bill Wan Sing Hung - HKBU
Then each term
divided by Zi
10.31
Why the WLS transformation can remove the heteroscedasticity?
In the transformed equation where
1

(i) E ( Z ) = Z E (i) = 0
i
i

i 2

(ii) E ( Z ) = Z 2E (i ) = Z 2 Zi22 = 2

(iii) E (

These three results satisfy the assumptions of classical OLS.

If the residuals plot against X2i are as following :
^2
^i
+

10.32
X2
X2
These plots suggest variance is increasing proportional to X2i2.
The scattered plots spreading out as nonlinear pattern.
Therefore, we might expect 2 = Z 22
Zi2 = X2i2 =>Zi =X2i
i

Hence, the transformed equation becomes
Yi

X1i
= 0
+ 1
X2i
X2i
X2i
X2i
i
+ 2

X2i
X2i
=> Yi* = 1 X0* + 2 X1* + 3 + *
Where *i satisfies the assumptions of classical OLS

W < 2df ==> not reject Ho

the heteroscedasticity is not existed.
