TI - The Variances of Regression Coefficient Estimates Using Aggregate Data T2 - NBER working paper series PY - 1974/// CY - Cambridge, Mass. PB - National Bureau of Economic Research N1 - October 1974; Hardcopy version available to institutional subscribers N2 - This paper considers the effect of aggregation on the variance of parameter estimates for a linear regression model with random coefficients and an additive error term. Aggregate and microvariances are compared and measures of relative efficiency are introduced. Necessary conditions for efficient aggregation procedures are obtained from the Theil aggregation weights and from measures of synchronization related to the work of Grunfeld and Griliches UR - https://www.nber.org/papers/w0060 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w0060 ER -
