Question:

When heteroscedasticity is detected, we sometimes use a weighted regression in which the dependent and independent variables are weighted by the variances of their error terms. Thus, the estimated regression becomes yi/se = β1x1/se + β2x2/s+ ei/se, where se is the standard error of residuals. Explain intuitively why this may produce better regression results.
