Question
Are Jessica and her son Jonathan, correct in terms of the method used to correct for heteroskedasticity and the likely effects?
Answer Choices:
A. Neither is correct
B. Both are correct
Explanation
Jessica is correct. White-corrected standard errors are also known as robust standard
errors. Jonathan is correct because White-corrected errors are higher than the biased
errors leading to lower computed t-statistics and therefore less frequent rejection of the
Null Hypothesis (remember incorrectly rejecting a true Null is Type I error).
