2 Linear equations with one variable Recall what a linear equation is: y = b 0 + b 1 x is a linear equation with one variable, or equivalently, a straight line. linear on x, we can think this as linear on its unknown parameter, i.e., y = x b 0 and b 1 are constants, b 0 is the y-intercept and b 1 is the slope of the line, y is the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable slope of a line being b 1 means for every 1 unit horizontal increase there is a b 1 unit vertical increase/decrease depending on the sign of b 1. 2
3 Linear equations with one variable A linear equation is of deterministic nature outcomes are precisely determined without any random variation A given input will always produce the same output perfect relationship In real life data, it is almost impossible to have such a prefect relationship between two variables. We almost always rely on rough predictions. One of our tools to do so is regression. 3
4 Empirical and Theoretical Relationships Economists are interested in the relationship between two or more economic variables at least bivariate populations The economic theory in general suggests relationships in functional forms (recall economic models). These relations are deterministic, such as Y = f(x), or Y = f (X 1, X 2,...X k ) A given input will always produce the same output perfect relationship 4
5 Example 1: Study time and score Let s consider the following example. The table below shows the data for total hours studied for a calculus test, x, and the test scores, y. time score x y
6 Example 1, cont d Consider the scatter plot based on the data of example 1. Does it look like a perfect relationship? 95 Study time vs Exam score
7 Example 2: Savings and income Relationship between savings (Y) and income (X) (Goldberger, 1991) Data from 1027 families, between , in the USA The joint distribution of savings and income are presented in the next table P (Y, X) For discrete case, P (Y, X) P (Y = y and X = x). 7
8 Example 2, cont d Table: Joint Distribution Y, savings, and X, income: P (Y, X) X (in 1000) Y P (Y ) P (X)
9 Example 2, cont d Among the information we can obtain from a joint probability table, there are two that are of interest to us: whether we can have a deterministic relationship, i.e., Y = f(x) whether savings and income are independent Can we have a deterministic relationship between savings and income based on the previous table? No. In order to have a deterministic relationship, we need to have a unique savings for each level of income, in other words we need to have a functional relationship. In terms of probability, for each income level, we need to have only one savings level with positive probability! 9
10 Example 2, cont d But we do have a relationship between income level and savings As income increases, savings level increases. To further investigate this, lets calculate the conditional distribution: P (Y, X) P (Y X) = P (X) ˆµ Y X=x = yp (Y = y X = x) y 10
11 Example 2, cont d Table: Conditional Distribution of Y, savings, given X, income: P (Y X) X (in 1000) Y Column sum ˆµ Y X What is the relationship between the conditional mean and income level? 11
12 Empirical and Theoretical Relationships The empirical relationships between economic variables not deterministic, but stochastic To combine theory and data, one must interpret the economic theory in a different way When the economic theory postulates that Y is a function of X, Y = f(x), it implies that the expected value of Y is a function of X, E[Y ] = f(x) Y = f(x) deterministic, E[Y ] = f(x) stochastic 12
13 Prediction When we are in a stochastic setting, we are in general interested in prediction, but how do we form our prediction? One way would be just to guess a number, but do you think it will be good? How can we assess that it is good? We are interested in finding the best way of predicting 13
14 Prediction Suppose we want to predict Y, using the information on X. Let c(x) be a prediction Then, U = Y c(x) will be our prediction error. We want the expected value of the square of our prediction, E[U 2 ] error to be as small as possible Why E[U 2 ]? Choose a prediction so that E[U 2 ] = (y c(x)) 2 P (y) y Y is minimized 14
15 Prediction: The best constant prediction We do not always have bivariate, or multivariate case, sometimes we only have information on Y In these cases, our prediction does not depend on other variables, so our prediction can be denoted as c Then we choose a prediction such that we minimize E[U 2 ] = y Y (y c) 2 P (y) c = E[Y ] = µ Y Average of Y is the best constant predictor 15
16 Exercise 2, cont d Y (Saving rate) P (Y ) Then the best constant predictor for the saving rate is: E[Y ] = = = 9.85% 16
17 Prediction: The best linear prediction In the case that we have bivariate data (Y, X), say savings rate and income levels, then we can make use of the relationship between them to predict Y Linear prediction implies that our c(x) is linear, i.e., c(x) = c 0 + c 1 X So, we need to find c 0 and c 1 such that E[U 2 ] = (y c(x)) 2 P (y) is minimized y Y 17
18 Prediction: The best linear prediction By replacing c(x) by c 0 + c 1 X, and solving for the minimization problem we get c 0 = α 0 = E(Y ) α 1 E(X) = µ Y α 1 µ X c 1 = α 1 = C(X, Y ) V (X) = σ XY σ 2 X The function α 0 + α 1 X is the linear projection (or the best linear prediction) of Y given X L(Y X) = α 0 + α 1 X 18
19 Example 2, cont d To get the best linear prediction for savings rate, we need to calculate: E[X], E[Y ], E[XY ], C(X, Y ), E[X 2 ], V (X) For E[XY ]: XY P(XY) XY P(XY) XY P(XY) XY P(XY) E[XY ] = X i Y j P (XY = X i Y j ) = i=1 j=1 19
20 Example 2, cont d E[X] = = C(X, Y ) = E[XY ] E[X]E[Y ] = = E[X 2 ] = = V (X) = E[X 2 ] (E[X]) 2 = = c 0 = α 0 = E(Y ) α 1 E(X) = c 1 = α 1 = C(X, Y ) = V (X) 20
21 Example 2, cont d L(Y X) = X The for discrete values of X, we get = if X = = if X = 4.9 L(Y X) = = if X = = if X =
22 Best Prediction So far we considered best constant predictor, and best linear predictor Let s relax the linearity restriction on c(x), i.e., c(x) can be any function that minimizes E[U 2 ] The best predictor of Y then becomes the conditional expected value of Y, E[Y X] If the E[Y X] is linear, then E[Y X] and L(Y X) are the same. The reverse is NOT true!!! If the E[Y X] is NOT linear, then L(Y X) is the best linear approximation to E[Y X] 22
23 Example 2, cont d X (income) c L(Y X) E[Y X] (in $1000s) BCP BLP BP
24 Prediction Whenever L(Y X) E[Y X], L(Y X) provides a good approximation to E[Y X], hence can be used in some circumstances However, E[Y X] characterizes conditional mean of Y given X, the L(Y X) does not E[Y X] can have causal interpretation, the L(Y X) can not 24
25 SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION (SLR) 25
26 Simple Linear Regression Our big goal to analyze and study the relationship between two variables One approach to achieve this is simple linear regression, i.e, Y = β 0 + β 1 X + ε While answering our question, a simple linear regression model addresses some issues: 1. How to deal with the factors other than X that effects Y 2. How to formulate the relationship between X and Y 3. Whether our model captures a ceteris paribus relationship between X and Y 26
27 Simple Linear Regression SLR Model: Y = β 0 + β 1 X + ε Y Dependent variable, endogenous variable, response variable, regressand... X Independent variable, exogenous variable, control variable, regressor... β = (β 0, β 1 ) Parameter vector, population parameters ε Error term 27
28 Simple Linear Regression: Assumptions A1: Linear in parameters It implies that a unit change in X has the same effect on Y, independently of the initial value of X. SLR is linear in parameters: The following are linear in parameters: Y = β 0 + β 1 X + ε, Y = β 0 X 2 Z + β 1 logz + ε The following is NOT linear in parameters: Y = β 1 X β2 ε Violations of this assumption are form of a specification errors, such as nonlinearity (when the relationship is not linear in parameters) We can overcome the limitations this assumption imposes 28
29 Simple Linear Regression: Assumptions A2: E[ε X] = 0 For the all values of X, the mean error rate is same and equal to 0. E[ε X] = 0 implies for any function h(), C(h(X), ε) = 0. Hence, ε is not correlated with any function of X In particular, C(X, ε) = 0 C(X, ε) = E[Xε] E[X]E[ε] E[Xε] = E[E[Xε X]] = E[XE[ε X]] = 0 E(X)E(ε) = 0 29
30 Simple Linear Regression: Assumptions E[Y X] = β 0 + β 1 X, the conditional expectation function is linear, hence C(Y, X) C(Y, X) = C (E[Y X], X) = β 1 V (X) β 1 = V (X) E[Y ] = E [E[Y X]] = β 0 + β 1 E[X] β 0 = E[Y ] β 1 E[X] E[Y X] = L(Y X) = β β 1 X, where L(.) is the linear projection 30
31 Simple Linear Regression: Assumptions A3: Conditional Homoscedasticity V (ε X) = σ 2 X This implies V (ε) = σ 2 V (ε X) = E[ε 2 X] E [(E[ε X])] = E[ε 2 X] = σ 2 E[ε 2 ] = E [ E[ε 2 X] ] = σ 2 V (ε) = E[ε 2 ] (E[ε]) 2 = σ 2 This also implies V (Y X) = σ 2 31
32 Simple Linear Regression: Interpretation of Coefficients From A1, we have Y = β 0 + β 1 X + ε, if we take the conditional expectation of both sides we get E[Y X] = E [β 0 + β 1 X + ε] = β 0 + β 1 E[X X] + E[ε X](by A2) = β 0 + β 1 X E[Y X] This implies: β 1 =. That is, When X increases X by one unit, Y, on average, increases by β 1 units. 32
33 Simple Linear Regression: Interpretation of Coefficients E[Y X = 0] = E [β 0 + β 1 X + ε X = 0] = β 0 β 0 is the mean value of Y, when X = 0 β 0 is the intercept term In the case that X = 0 is not included in the range of X in our data set, β 0 has no interpretation 33
34 Simple Linear Regression: Interpretation of Coefficients Notice that A2 also implies E[Y X] = β 0 + β 1 X = L(Y X), that is, the best prediction is the best linear prediction If A2 is not satisfied, then E[Y X] L(Y X). This implies: β 0 and β 1 are only the parameters of a linear projection, NOT of a conditional expectation β 0 and β 1 do not have causal interpretations 34

37 SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION: THE ESTIMATION 37
38 Simple Linear Regression: Estimation Our Objective: Estimate the population parameters, i.e., β = (β 0, β 1 ) and σ 2 Our Model: Y = β 0 + β 1 X + ε, where E[ε X] = 0 and V (ε X) = σ 2 Our Data: Pairs of (y i, x i ) i = 1, 2,..., n are the sample realizations of population data (Y i, X i ): y x y 1 x 1 y 2 x y n x n 38
39 Simple Linear Regression: Estimation We need a method to estimate our population parameters β = (β 0, β 1 ) and σ 2, using our model Y i = β 0 + β 1 X i + ε i for all i = 1, 2,..., n We need to distinguish between population parameters β = (β 0, β 1 ) and σ 2 and the estimated values, denoted as ˆβ = ( ˆβ 0, ˆβ 1 ) and ˆσ 2 39
40 Estimation: The Analogy Principle An approach for estimation Use the corresponding sample quantity as an estimate of the population quantity Use sample mean Ȳ = mean n i=1 Use sample variance s 2 = population variance y i n i=1 to estimate the population ( n yi Ȳ ) 2 to estimate the n 1 Method of moments: Let µ i = E[X i ] be the i th moment, the by method of moments, we estimate µ i by n (x k ) i corresponding sample moment m i = n k=1 40
41 Estimation: The Analogy Principle Recall the bets prediction and the best linear prediction. Under our assumptions: E[Y X] = L(Y X) = β 0 + β 1 X β 0 = E(Y ) β 1 E(X) β 1 = C(X, Y ) V (X) 41
42 Estimation: The Analogy Principle then, by using the analogy principle we have: ˆβ 0 = Ȳ ˆβ 1 X ˆβ 1 = n i (X i X)(Y i Ȳ ) n i (X i X) 2 = 1 n n i (X i X)Y i n i (X i X) 2 1 n = S XY S 2 X 42
43 Estimation: The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) The idea of the (OLS) principle is to choose parameter estimates that minimize the squared error term, i.e., the distance between the data and the model min E[ε 2 ], or equivalently, min E [(Y β 0 + β 1 X) 2] ε i = Y i E[Y i X i ] 43
44 The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) For the sample data, we define the error term as ˆε i = Y i Ŷi = Y i ˆβ 0 ˆβ 1 X i Then the sample equivalent of min E[ε 2 ] is 1 min β 0,β 1 n n i=1 ˆε 2 i 44
45 The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) FOC are: n i=1 ˆε = 0 n i=1 ˆεX i = 0 These FOC implies: ˆβ 0 = Ȳ ˆβ 1 X ˆβ 1 = n i=1 x iy i n i=1 x2 i c i = x i n i=1 x2 i n = c i Y i where x i = (X i X) and i=1 45
46 The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Compare Least square estimators and analogy principle estimators. are the similar? Predicted values: Ŷi = ˆβ 0 ˆβ 1 X i Predicted values are orthogonal to the predicted error term i Ŷiˆε i = 0 46
47 Estimation Terminology Estimator is a RULE for calculating an estimate of a parameter based on observed data, i.e., ˆβ 0 = Ȳ ˆβ 1 X Estimate is a number that is an outcome of an estimation process, i.e, ˆβ 1 =
48 The Properties of The OLS Estimators P1 Linear in Y ˆβ0 = Ȳ ˆβ 1 X ˆβ1 = i c iy i 48
49 The Properties of The OLS Estimators P2 Unbiasedness: Expected value of the estimator is equal to the parameter itself We achieve this property by A1 and A2 E[ ˆβ 0 ] = β 0 E[ ˆβ 1 ] = β 1 49
50 The Properties of The OLS Estimators The unbiasedness property indicates that if we have infinitely many samples of size-n from the same population and estimate the same model with each of the samples: We will have a distribution of the estimator of β l, with a different realization for each sample The mean of that distribution will be the the population parameter β l 50
51 The Properties of The OLS Estimators E[ ˆβ 1 ] = β 1 ˆβ 1 = i c i Y i = c i (β 0 + β 1 X i + ε i ) i = β 0 c i + β 1 c i X i + c i ε i i i i = β 1 c i X i + ( c i ε i because ) c i = 0 i i i = β 1 + ( c i ε i because ) c i X i = 1 i i 51
52 The Properties of The OLS Estimators E[ ˆβ 1 X] = E [ β 1 + i c i ε i X ] = β 1 + i = β 1 E[β 1 ] = E [E[β 1 X]] = E[β 1 ] = β 1 c i E[ε i X] } {{ } 0 52
53 The Properties of The OLS Estimators The Variance From A1, A2, and A3, we have V ( ˆβ 0 ) = i X 2 i n V ( ˆβ 1 ) [ ] V ( ˆβ 1 ) = σ2 1 n E SX 2 53
54 The Properties of The OLS Estimators Let s show that V ( ˆβ 1 ) = σ2 n E [ ( V ( ˆβ ) ] 2 1 ) = E ˆβ1 β 1 [ 1 S 2 X ] ( = E i ) 2 c i ε i = i [ = E E [ c 2 i ε 2 i X ]] [ = E c 2 i E [ ε 2 i X ]] = σ 2 E = σ 2 E = σ2 n E i [ i [ i [ 1 S 2 X c 2 i ] ( xi ] (by A3) i x2 i ) 2 ] 54 i = σ 2 E [ i 1 n 1 n ( i x2 i )2 E[c 2 i ε 2 i ] ]
55 The Properties of The OLS Estimators: Gauss-Markov Theorem Under assumptions A1 to A3, the Gauss-Markov Theorem states that the ˆβ 0 and ˆβ 0 are the efficient estimators among all linear unbiased estimators ˆβ0 and ˆβ 0 are the most efficient estimators among all the linear unbiased estimators Best Linear Unbiased Estimator 55
56 The Properties of The OLS Estimators: Gauss-Markov Theorem What does it mean to be a consistent estimator? ˆβ 0 and ˆβ 1 are consistent if in other words, p lim ˆβ j = β j, j = 0, 1 n ( ) lim P ˆβj β j < δ = 1 δ > 0 n Consistency means the distributions of the estimators ˆβ 0 and ˆβ 1 become more and more concentrated near the true values β 0 and β 1 as sample size increases, so that the probability of ˆβ 0 and ˆβ 1 being arbitrarily close to β 0 and β 1 converges to one For these results, we need A1 to A3 to met!!! 56
57 The Variance of The OLS Estimators The variance of the OLS estimators, ˆβ 0 and ˆβ 1, depends on σ 2 = V (ε) = E[ε 2 ] The problem is, the errors ε = ε 1, ε 2,..., ε n are not observed, so we need to estimate ε ˆε = Y ˆβ 0 ˆβ 1 X = β 0 + β 1 X + ε ˆβ 0 ˆβ 1 X ( ) ( ) = ε ˆβ0 β 0 ˆβ1 β 1 X Even though E[ ˆβ j ] = β j for j = 0, 1, ˆε ε 57
58 The Variance of The OLS Estimators One attempt to estimate σ 2 would be to use (1\n) ε 2 instead of E[ε 2 ]. However, this is not feasible Another attempt to estimate σ 2 would be using sample values of the error, ˆε, and use this to estimate the sample variance: σ 2 = (1\n) ˆε 2. However, this is biased. The bias comes from unmatched degrees of freedom and denominator When we account for this bias, we get a consistent and unbiased estimate: ˆσ 2 = i ˆε 2 i n 2 58
59 The Variance of The OLS Estimators Note that both of ˆσ 2 and σ 2 are consistent and for larger samples, their value is very close to each other. [ ] Recall that V ( ˆβ 1 ) = σ2 1 n E SX 2 [ ] We estimate V ( ˆβ 1 ) by ˆσ 2 ˆV ( ˆβ 1 ) = ˆσ2 1 nsx 2, where E SX 2 is estimated by 1 SX 2 Recall V ( ˆβ 0 ) = i X 2 i n V ( ˆβ 1 ) We estimate V ( ˆβ 0 ) by ˆσ 2 ˆV ( ˆβ 0 ) = ˆσ2 i X2 i n 2 S 2 X 59
60 The Goodness of Fit Measures The goodness of fit measures are the measures of how well our model fits the data. Standard error of regression, ˆσ, is one intuitive way of approaching goodness of fit. Recall that in the standard simple linear regression, we have Y = β 0 + β 1 X + ε and V (ε X) = σ 2. One problem with this goodness of fit method is that its magnitude heavily depends on the units of Y 60
61 The Goodness of Fit Measures Coefficient of Determination, R 2, is a very common measure of goodness of fit R 2 = i ŷ2 i = 1 i ε2 i (1) i y2 i i y2 i where y i = Y i Ȳ, ŷ i = Ŷi Ȳ, and ε i = Y i Ŷi Notice that y i = ŷ i + ε i. This implies that 0 i ŷ2 i 1 If R 2 = 1, the model explains all of the variation (100%) in Y If R 2 = 0, the model explains none of the variation (0%) in Y i y2 i 61
62 The Goodness of Fit Measures A low R 2 implies: The model fails to explain a significant proportion of the variation of Y. A low R2 does not necessarily mean that the estimates are unhelpful or inappropriate. The R 2 can be used for comparing different models for the same dependent variable Y. Also, for the correlation coefficient between actual and estimated values of Y, ρ Y, Ŷ, we ahe the following ( ) 2 relationship: R 2 = ˆρ Y, Ŷ 62
