This paper shows how asymptotically valid inference in regression models based on the weighted least squares (WLS) estimator can be obtained even when the model for reweighting the data is misspecified. Like the ordinary least squares estimator, the WLS estimator can be accompanied by...

In the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity, inference about the coefficients in a linear regression model these days is typically based on the ordinary least squares estimator in conjunction with using heteroskedasticity consistent standard errors. Similarly, even when the true form of...

Linear regression models form the cornerstone of applied research in economics and other scientific disciplines. When conditional heteroskedasticity is present, or at least suspected, the practice of reweighting the data has long been abandoned in favor of estimating model parameters by ordinary...

These days, it is common practice to base inference about the coefficients in a hetoskedastic linear model on the ordinary least squares estimator in conjunction with using heteroskedasticity consistent standard errors. Even when the true form of heteroskedasticity is unknown, heteroskedasticity...

This paper estimates the curvature of the Earth, defined as one over its radius, without using any physics. The orthodox model is that the Earth is nearly spherical with a curvature of π/20, 000 km. By contrast, the heterodox flat-Earth model stipulates a curvature of zero. Abstracting from the...

This paper estimates the curvature of the Earth, defined as one over its radius, without relying on physical measurements. The orthodox model states that the Earth is (nearly) spherical with a curvature of π/20'000 km. By contrast, the heterodox flat-Earth model stipulates a curvature of zero....
