Explore the application of dummy variables and varying parameters models in economic analysis. Learn about multiple dummy variables, qualitative variables, varying parameter models, testing for structural stability with Chow test, and dealing with heteroscedasticity. Dive into piecewise linear regression analysis and interpretation of coefficients in semi-log regression.

Dummy variables and heteroscedasticity • To do the Chow test, we must assume that the variance of the disturbance in each regression is same. • This holds for dummy variable test for structural change. We can’t have heteroscedasticity. • Can test this assumption with F-test.
