Brief notes on heteroscedasticity, very helpful for those who are bigners to econometrics. i thought this course to the students of BS economics, these notes include all the necessary proofs.
Heteroscedasticity is the condition which refers to the violation of the Homoscedasticity condition of the linear regression model used in econometrics study. In simple words, it can be described as the situation which leads to increase in the variance of the residual terms with the increase in the fitted value of the variable.

We can define heteroscedasticity as the condition in which the variance of the error term or the residual term in a regression model varies. As you can see in the above diagram, in the case of homoscedasticity, the data points are equally scattered while in the case of heteroscedasticity, the data points are not equally scattered.
Two Conditions:
1] Known Variance
2] Unknown Variance

Distribution of Estimates
Linear Regression Model
Assume (yt, xt) are independent and identically distributed and E(xtet) = 0
Estimation Consistency
The estimates approach the true values as the sample size increases.
Estimation variance decreases as the sample size increases.
Illustration of Consistency
Take a random sample of U.S. men

Total sample = 9089
Start with 100 observations, and sequentially increase sample size until in the final regression use the whole 9089.

OLS minimizes the sum of squares
The first-order condition is
Solution
Now substitute
We have
The denominator is the sample variance (when x has mean zero), so

Then

Since
Then
From the covariance formula
When the observations are independent, the covariances are zero.
And since
We obtain
We have found
As stated at the beginning.
Extension to Time-Series
The only place in this argument where we used the assumption of the independence of observations was to show that vt = xtet has zero covariance with vj = xjej.
This is saying that vt is not autocorrelated.
Unforecastable one-step errors
In one-step-ahead forecasting, if the regression error is unforecastable, then vt is not autocorrelated.
In this case, the variance formula for the least-squares estimate is
Why is this true?
The error is unforecastable if
For simplicity, suppose that xt = 1.
Then for
Summary
In one-step-ahead time-series models, if the error is unforecastable, then least-squares estimates satisfy the asymptotic (approximate) distribution
As the sample size T is in the denominator, the variance decreases as the sample size increases.
This means that least-squares is consistent.
Variance Formula
The variance formula for the least-squares estimate takes the form
This formula is valid in time-series regression when the error is unforecastable.
Classical Variance Formula
If we make the simplifying assumption
Then
Homoskedasticity
The variance simplification is valid under “conditional homoskedasticity”
This is a simplifying assumption made to make calculations easier, and is a conventional assumption in introductory econometrics courses.
It is not used in serious econometrics.
Variance Formula: AR(1) Model
Take the AR(1) model with unforecastable homoscedastic errors
Then the variance of the OLS estimate is
Since in this model

All companies are the topic to the bankruptcy risks. If we look at the definition, a bankruptcy risk is
the business’ disability to deal with payable responsibilities. In the recent past, as a consequence of the
dynamization of the financial and economic action of different firms, it has become essential to obtain precise
information about bankruptcy. In order to summarize this analysis, I use a binary logistic regression because it

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Autocorrelation
Definition
The classical assumptions in the linear regression are that the errors terms i have zero mean and
constant variance and are uncorrelated [E( i) = 0, Var( i) = δ2
, and E( i j ) = 0 ]. For the
construction of Confidence Interval, and Testing of hypothesis about the regression coefficients
we add the assumption of normality. so that i are NID(0, δ2
). Some applications of regression
involve regressor and response variables that have a natural sequential order over time. Such data
are called time series data. Regression models using time series data occur relatively often in
economics, business, and some fields of engineering. The assumption of uncorrelated or
independent errors for time series data is often not appropriate. Usually the errors in time series
data exhibit serial correlation, that is, E( i j ) ≠ 0. Such error terms are said to be
autocorrelated. Autocorrelation sometimes called "lagged correlation or "serial correlation".
Causes of Autocorrelation
Specification Bias:
a) Excluded Variables Case
There are several causes of autocorrelation. Perhaps the primary cause of
autocorrelation in regression problems involving time series data is failure to include one
or more important regressors in the model. For example suppose that we wish to regress

annual sales of a soft drink company against the annual advertising expenditure for that
product. Now the growth in population over the period of time used in the study will also
influence the product sales. If population size is not included in the model, this may cause
the errors in the model to be positively autocorrelated, because population size is
positively correlated with product sales.
Consider the true model:
Sale (Yt) = β0 + β1X1t + β2X2t + εt ---------------------- ( I )
Where Y is the sale, X1 is the advertising expenditure, X2 is the population size.
However for some reason we run the following regression:
Sale (Yt) = β0 + β1X1t + υt ---------------------- ( II )
As model ( I ) is a true model and we run model ( II ), and hence the error or disturbance
term υ will be autocorrelated.
b) Incorrect Functional Form:
Consider the following cost and output model:
Yt = β1 + β2 X1 + β3 X2

+ υt

Instead of using the above form which is considered to be correct, if we fit the
following model:
Yt = β1 + β2 X1 + β3 X2 + υt
In this case, υ will reflect autocorrelation because of the use of an incorrect
functional form.
Theoretical consequences of autocorrelation
The presence of autocorrelation in the errors has several effects on the ordinary least-squares
regression procedures. These are summarized as follows:
1. Ordinary least-squares regression coefficients are still unbiased.
2. OLS regression coefficients are no longer efficient i..e. they are no longer minimum
variance estimates. We say that these estimates are inefficient.
3. The residual mean square MSres may seriously underestimate δ2
. Consequently, the
standard errors of the regression coefficients may be too small. Thus, confidence intervals
are shorter than they really should be, and tests of hypothesis on individual regression
coefficients may indicate that one or more regression contribute significantly to the
model when they really do not. Generally, underestimating δ2
gives the researcher a false
impression of accuracy.
4. The confidence intervals and tests of hypothesis based on the t and F distributions are no
longer appropriate.

OLS estimates in presence of autocorrelation
There are three main consequences of autocorrelation on the ordinary least squares estimates.
1. Ordinary least squares regression coefficients are still unbiased even if the disturbance
term is autocorrelated. i.e.
