Consider the model Y Æ ®Å¯X Åe E[e] Æ 0 E[Xe] Æ 0 with both Y and X scalar. Assuming ® È 0 and ¯ Ç 0 suppose the parameter of interest is the area under the regression curve (e.g. consumer surplus), which is A Æ ¡®2/2¯.
Let bµ Æ (b®, b¯)0 be the least squares estimators of µ Æ (®,¯)0 so that p n ¡bµ¡µ

!d N(0,V µ) and let bV µ
be a standard estimator for V µ.

(a) Given the above, describe an estimator of A.

(b) Construct an asymptotic 1¡´ confidence interval for A.
