The Advantage of Using Heteroskedasticity-Robust Standard Errors Is That

question 6

Multiple Choice

The advantage of using heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors is that

• A)they are easier to compute than the homoskedasticity-only standard errors.
• B)they produce asymptotically valid inferences even if you do not know the form of the conditional variance function.
• C)it makes the OLS estimator BLUE, even in the presence of heteroskedasticity.
• D)they do not unnecessarily complicate matters, since in real-world applications, the functional form of the conditional variance can easily be found.
