Consider the one-variable regression model Yi = β0 + β1Xi + ui, and suppose it satisfies the least squares assumptions in Key Concept 4.3. Suppose Yi is measured with error, so the data are ?"i = Yi + wi, where wi is the measurement error, which is i.i.d. and independent of Yi. Consider the population regression ?"i = β0 + β1Xi + vi, where vi is the regression error, using the mismeasured dependent variable ?"i. a) Showthatvi =ui +wi. b) Show that the regression ?"i = β0 + β1Xi + vi satisfies the least squares assumptions in Key Concept 4.3. (Assume that wi is independent of Yj and Xj for all values of i and j and has a finite fourth moment.) c) Are the OLS estimators consistent?
