  1. Economics 310 Lecture 12 Heteroscedasticity

  2. Heteroscedasticity • Violation of classic assumption of constant variance of disturbance. • The variance of the disturbance may be different for some or all of the subpopulations. • Subpopulations with large variances are not as helpful in estimating our model as subpopulations with small variances.

  3. Sources of Heteroscedasticity • Error-learning models • Discretionary Income • Improved Data Collection techniques • Outliers

  4. Example of Heteroscedasticity-Typing Test Density Weeks WPM

  5. Faculty Salaries Across Universities
