CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Definition and Concept of Econometrics

– Econometrics concerns with the application of mathematical statistics, and


tools of statistical inference to the empirical measurement of relationships
postulated by economic theory (Greene,2003).

– It is the social science that applies the tools of economic theory,


mathematics and statistical inference to analyze economic phenomena and
estimate causal relationships among variables.

– Estimate causal relationships means how a change in one variable affects


the other.
18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 1
– Econometrics is the quantitative measurement and analysis of actual
economic and business phenomena which involves economic theory,
statistics, mathematics and observation/data collection.

– Three major uses of econometrics:


• Describing economic reality,
• Testing hypotheses about economic theory and
• Forecasting future economic activity

– So econometrics is all about questions: the researcher first asks


questions and then uses econometrics to answer them

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 2


– Thus, econometrics is an amalgamation/ combination of economic
theory, mathematics and statistics of the three subjects which is vital
as illustrated below:

(a) Economic theory: forms the basis for any econometric work, and
should really be the starting point for econometric analysis.

– However, lack of empirical content in economic theory is of our


interest to use econometrics for verifying economic theory empirically.

– For example, economic theory tells us people tend to consume more in


consumption expenditure, whenever their disposable income rises.

– The theory doesn’t explain by how much consumption expenditure will


increases as income increases by certain unit.

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 3


(b) Mathematical Economics: It is used to covert the economic theory into an
equation for empirically tested with the help of econometrics

 The simplest linear economic model example is:


Y = β0 +β1 X

β0 is the constant or intercept coefficient term and β1 is the slope coefficient,


the amount that Y will change when X changes by certain amount.

(c) Statistics: It provides the econometrician with the know-how and tools of
data collection, processing, analysis and presentation of results. Thus statistics
helps to test theories and explain the results.

1.2 Specification of Econometric Model
– In econometric theory, there is not always a perfect or exact
relationship among the variables.

– Instead, there exists an inexact or stochastic relationship among most


economic variables. Thus, by introducing the error term, relevant
econometric model can be specified as
Y  1   2 X  u

– The mathematical model/equation is not a complete description of


origins of variation in Y

– Because at least four sources of variation in Y, other than the variation


in the included Xs exists.

Cross-sectional Data: Data on one or more variable collected at the same
point in time.
– Examples are survey on households, opinion polls conducted by various
polling organizations and temperature at a given time in several places
Time Series Data: A set of observations that a variable takes at different
times, such as
– Daily e.g., stock prices; Weekly e.g., money supply;
– Monthly e.g., unemployment rate;
– Annually/yearly e.g., GDP and government budgets;
– Decennially or every ten years e.g., the census of population.
Panel Data: Combines features of both cross-section and time series data
and Same cross-sectional units are followed over time.
– Panel data represents a special type of pooled data where the
same cross-sectional units are not necessarily followed over
time.

(ii) Regression Analysis is formally a statistical technique that attempts to
explain movements/changes in the dependent variable as a function of
the independent or explanatory variables, through the quantification
of a single equation.

– Statistically, the significant regression result does not necessarily imply


causality because we need:
• Economic theory
• Common sense
– Regression is an econometric technique for estimating the relationships
between the change in the dependent and independent variables.

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 11


– There always a distinction made between correlation and regression.
correlation analysis aims at finding the strength of linear association between
variables,
– While regression analysis, on the other hand, aims at finding the direction of
relationship between variables.
– Thus, correlation does not imply causality, but regression does so. Thus two
primary differences between them as outlined below:

CORRELATION REGRESSION
Assumes symmetry between X and Y Assumes asymmetry between X and
i.e., there is no distinction as to Y; i.e., distinguishes which variable is
which variable is dependent/causality dependent and which is explanatory.
is not important. causality is important.

Both X and Y are assumed to be Only Y is assumed to be statistical but


statistical, random or stochastic X is assumed to be fixed.

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 12


– Regression helps to analyse how the typical value of the dependent
variable changes when any one of the independent variables changes,
while the other are held constant/ceteris paribus.

– The main purpose of linear regression analysis is to assess associations


between dependent and independent variables in the case of multiple
regression analysis.

– There are basically two types of regression analysis, i.e., simple regression
analysis and multiple regression analysis.

1.4 Assumptions of Classical Linear Regression Assumptions
The following are assumptions of the classical linear regression model
(CLRM):
– The regression model is linear, correctly specified, and has an additive
error term
– The error term has a zero population mean-Given X, the expected value of
the error term is zero, or E(ui |X) = 0.
– All explanatory variables are uncorrelated with the error term.
– No Serial Correlation: Observations of the error term are uncorrelated with
each other. cov(ui,uj|X) = 0, i ≠ j.
– No Heteroskedasticity: The error term has a constant variance var(ui|X) =
σ2.
– No explanatory variable/ a perfect linear function of any other explanatory
variable(s).
– The error term is normally distributed, this assumption is optional but
usually is invoked

1.5 Properties of the Mean, Variance and Standard Error

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 18


Properties of Variance: The mean of sampling distribution to be centered around
the true population, so there is a desirable for the sampling distribution to be as
narrow or precise as possible.
– Centering around “the truth” but with high variability might be of very little
use.
– One way of narrowing the sampling distribution is to increase the sampling
size, hence, also increases the degrees of freedom.

Properties of the Standard Error: Standard error of the estimated coefficient, is


the square root of the estimated variance of the estimated coefficients.
– Hence, it is similarly affected by the sample size such as the larger the
sample size, the more precise the coefficient estimates will be.

1.6 The Gauss-Markov Theorem and the Properties of OLS Estimators

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 20


Unbiased: the OLS estimates coefficients are centered around the true
population values

– The OLS estimators are unbiased if the expected of estimators on


average are equal to their respective true values of parameters.

Efficiency: An estimators are said to be efficient if there is unbiased and


no longer unbiased estimator has a smaller variance.

Minimum variance: no other unbiased estimator has a lower variance for


each estimated coefficient than OLS

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 21


Consistent: as the sample size gets larger, the variance gets smaller, and each
estimate approaches the true value of the coefficient being estimated

– The OLS estimators are said to consistent if their convergence to their to


true values of parameters as a sample size increases to infinity.

Normally distributed: when the error term is normally distributed, so are the
estimated coefficients.

—This enables various statistical tests requiring normality to be applied.

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 22


1.7 Method of Ordinary Least Squares

– Ordinary least squares(OLS) is the most common method used to fit a line to
the data for estimation the regression

– The method of OLS does not minimize the sum of the error term, but
minimizes error/residuals sum of squares

 i  i 1 2 2 i 3 3i
u 2
 (Y  B  B X  B X  ....  Bk X ki ) 2

– To obtain values of the regression coefficients, the derivatives are taken with
respect to the regression coefficients and set equal to zero.

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 23


• For example, a multiple regression model of the two independent
variables is expressed as:

• From the expressed regression model above, the error term is thus
obtained as:

. • Thus, the residuals sum of squared (RSS) is as follows:

ei    Y   0   1 X 1   2 X 2 
  
2

 

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 24


• The aim of OLS is to obtain the OLS estimators by minimizing the
sum of squared residuals.

• Thus, to obtain the OLS estimators, we need to obtain the first order
partial derivatives of (residuals sum of squares (RSS) and equate them
to zero, i.e. optimization.

1.8 The Coefficient of Determination in Multiple Regression Analysis

The coefficient of determination in regression analysis measures the goodness


of fit, and is given by the formula:

Explained sum of squares (ESS)


Residuals sum of squares (RSS)

Therefore: TSS=ESS+RSS and divide both sides of the equation by


TSS,
TSS ESS RSS ⇨ 1  ESS  RSS or.. ESS  1  RSS
 
TSS TSS TSS TSS TSS TSS TSS

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 30


Note:R2 quite often takes on values of 0.9 or higher for time series regressions

The limit Cases: R2 = 0 and R2 = 1, graphically we can show as follows

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 31


Problems with R2 as a goodness of fit measure

There are a number of problem with coefficients of determination:

1. R2 is defined in terms of variation about the mean of y so that if a model


is re-parameterised (rearranged) and the dependent variable changes, R2
will change.
2. R2 never falls if more regressors are added to the regression, e.g. consider:
Regression 1: yt = 1 + 2x2t + 3x3t + ut
Regression 2: y = 1 + 2x2t + 3x3t + 4x4t + ut
Hence, R2 will always be at least as high for regression 2 relative to
regression 1.

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 33
– The F test statistic for joint effects of the explanatory variable on dependent
one an be calculated as follows:

ESS  k  1
F  k  1, n  k  
RSS  n  k 
ESS
 k  1 R 2  k  1
 TSS 
n  k    n  k
RSS 1 R 2

TSS
– Note that ESS/TSS is the definition of R2 and RSS/TSS is equal to (1 – R2).
– It can be expressed in terms of R2 by dividing the numerator and denominator
by TSS, the total sum of squares.

H0: 2 3 = 2 or H0: 2 2 = 1

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 36


1.10 The relationship between the t- and F- statistic test distribution
– In the multiple regression model there is a difference between the roles
of the F and t tests.
– The F test tests the joint explanatory power of the variables, while the t
tests test their explanatory power individually.
– In the simple regression model the F test was equivalent to the (two-
sided) t test on the slope coefficient because the ‘group’ consisted of just
one variable.
– The F- distribution can be regarded as the equivalent extension of the t
distribution when there is more than one variable but small sample size.
– Any hypothesis which could be tested with a t-test could have been
tested using F-test, but not the other way round.

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 37


1.11 Regression Analysis and Analysis of Variance

• Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a study of total sum of squares, (TSS)


and its components, i.e., explained sum of squares (ESS) and residuals
sum of squared (RSS):
ESS + RSS = TSS
 

  

• By dividing the sum of squares (SS) by their associated degrees of


freedom (df), we get the mean sum of squares (MSS).

• The ANOVA table therefore shows the sum of squares (SS), degrees of
freedom (df), mean sum of squares (MSS) and source of variation.

Interpretation of the results:
– Holding X constant, the expected or mean value is -0.2667(which a loss).
– An increase in X by one unit, will lead to an increase in Y by 0.1685
units.
Assume that given X= 150, we can now predict Y as follows:

Y  0.2667  0.1685 X

Y  0.2667  0.1685(150)

1.12 Tests for the Regression Coefficients ,Statistical Inference using
Hypothesis Testing

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 55


1. Choose a significance level, , (say 5%). This is equivalent to choosing a
(1-)100% confidence interval, 95% confidence interval

2. Use the t-tables to find the appropriate critical value, which will again have
T-K degrees of freedom.

3. The confidence interval is given by

4. If the hypothesised value of  or * lies outside the confidence interval,


then reject the null hypothesis that  =*, otherwise do not reject the null.

Note that the test of significance and confidence interval approaches always
give the same answer.

Under the test of significance approach, we would not reject H0 that  = * if


the test statistic lies within the non-rejection region.
18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 56
• Fore instance, using the regression results below, test the significance of
the coefficients

• Using both the test of significance and confidence interval approaches, test
the hypothesis that  =1 against a two-sided alternative.

18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 58
This is test of significant approach. Therefore, we don’t reject the null hypothesis

• Confidence interval approach:


ˆ  t crit  SE( ˆ )
 0.5091 2.086  0.2561
 (0.0251,1.0433)

• The decision is that do not reject H0 since test stat lies within non-rejection
region.

Example 1:

Since the test statistic in both cases are greater than the tabulated values, we reject
the null hypothesis at the conventional levels of 1% and 5% significances.
Therefore, we conclude that the model is adequate
18 October 2024 Prepared by Urgaia Rissa(PhD) for MBA 63
Example 2: We assume that unrestricted regression model is given as :

yt = 1 + 2x2t + 3x3t + 4x4t + ut.

Then we want to test the restriction that 3+4 = 1.

What is the restricted regression?

Solution:
yt = 1 + 2x2t + 3x3t + 4x4t + ut s.t. 3+4 = 1

We substitute the restriction (3+4=1) into the unrestricted regression


so that it is automatically imposed on the data.
3+4 = 1  4 = 1- 3

where URSS and RRSS denote unrestricted and restricted residual sums of
regression, m is number of restriction coefficients, T= number of observations and
k= number of regressors in unrestricted regression including a constant or the total
number of parameters to be estimated.
