CLRM Assumptions

$E[\epsilon]=0$ holds whenever there is an intercept, it means the error term is zero, on average.
No perfect multicollinearity and all Xs must exhibit some variation (MLR)
- *No perfect linear relationship between the Xs
- *The higher the variation in independent variables, the lower the variance of estimators. To increase variation, increase the sample size.
Conditional independence assumption
- $E[\epsilon| X_1, X_2, ..., X_k]=E[\epsilon] =0$
- If this holds, there is no selection effect. (observed effect = causal effect)
$Cov(\epsilon_i, \epsilon_j | X_1, ..., X_k) =0$ Zero serial correlation in the errors
$V(\epsilon | X_1, ... ,X_k) = \sigma^2$ homoskedasticity, or constant conditional variance of the residual term
$\epsilon | X_1, ... , X_k ~ N (0, \sigma^2)$ errors are normally distributed with a mean zero and constant variance.

Question A

Suppose one is interested in measuring the impact of participation in preschool between ages 0 and 3 (P_i a dummy variable which takes value 1 if an individual ever participated in preschool between the ages of O and 3, and which takes value O otherwise) on mathematics test scores measured at age 12 (M_i). Therefore, one could think of running the following regression:

In a given dataset where we observe M and P for a cross section of individuals, should we expect P and u to be uncorrelated? Explain your answer. Should we expect the OLS estimate of β to be unbiased? Explain. [6 points]
What is the expression of the estimator for βif you use the procedure you described in part 2 of this question. Is it unbiased? If yes, show why. If not, show the expression for the [6 points]
Suppose now that compliance with the lottery was perfect, which means that every child offered a place accepted it, and none of the children rejected in the public sector ever enrolled in preschool. Would you be able to get an unbiased estimate of β estimating the model in part 1 of this question? Why, or why not? [5 points]
