Consider the model Y i = 1 + 2 X i + u i

Question:

Consider the model

Yi = β1 + β2Xi + ui

In practice we measure Xi by Xi such that

a. Xi = Xi + 5

b. Xi = 3Xi

c. Xi = (Xi + εi ), where εi is a purely random term with the usual properties.

What will be the effect of these measurement errors on estimates of true β1 and β2?
