The necessary and sufficient conditions for the weighted least-squares estimators (WLSEs) of parametric functions K1β1+K2β2+⋯+Kmβm under a multiple partitioned linear model ℳ={y,X1β1+⋯+Xmβm,σ2Σ} to be the sum of the WLSEs of Kiβi under the m small models...

Assume that an original general linear model is misspecified by adding some new regressors. We investigate in such a case relationships between the best linear unbiased estimators under the two models. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the best linear unbiased...

Nowadays a considerable amount of information on the behaviour of the economy is readily available, in the form of large datasets of macroeconomic variables. Central bankers can be expected to base their decisions on this very large information set. Yet the academic profession has shown a clear...
