Question:

A researcher estimates the following two econometric models yt = β1 + β2x2t + β3x3t + ut (3.56)

yt = β1 + β2x2t + β3x3t + β4x4t + vt (3.57)

where ut and vt are iid disturbances and x3t is an irrelevant variable which does not enter into the data generating process for yt . Will the value of
