Question

What is the formula for the omitted variable bias of the coefficient of an independent variable X, when another variable Z is omitted from the regression model? a. Bias = Cov (X, Z) * Beta(Z) / Var(Z) b. Bias = Cov (X, Z) * Beta(Z) / Var(X) c. Bias = Cov (X, Z) / Var(Z) d. Bias = Cov (X, Z) / Var(X)

Step 1

Step 1: The omitted variable bias formula is given by: $$Bias = \beta_{ZX} * \beta_{YZ}$$ where $\beta_{ZX}$ is the coefficient from the regression of the omitted variable Z on the included variable X, and $\beta_{YZ}$ is the coefficient from the regression of the Show more…
