Which of the following can cause OLS estimators to be biased? Heteroskedasticity. Omitting
an important variable. A sample correlation coefficient of .95 between two independent
variables both included in the model.
Solution
The only circumstance that will cause the OLS point estimates to be biased is b, omission of a
relevant variable. Heteroskedasticity biases the standard errors, but not the point estimates. High
(but not unitary) correlations among regressors do not cause any sort of bias.
