Step 1

The OLS estimator of β is given by: β_hat = Σ(xi - x̄)(yi - ȳ) / Σ(xi - x̄)² where x̄ is the sample mean of xi and ȳ is the sample mean of yi. To derive the conditional variance of β_hat, we need to consider the assumptions of the OLS regression model: Show more…

Please pay attention to the format of the question. If you can't answer it, please don't copy and paste from a similar answer (which doesn't apply) or I will give it a thumbs down. Given yi = Po + Î²(xi - Î¼) + Îµi, derive the conditional variance of the OLS estimator of Î². Construct an estimator of the conditional variance. Is this estimator unbiased for the conditional variance? Note: conditional means "conditional on x".
