Question: To see if the variable X 2i belongs in the model Y i = 1 + 2 X i + u i ,
To see if the variable X2i belongs in the model Yi = β1 + β2Xi + ui , Ramsey’s RESET test would estimate the linear model, obtaining the estimated Yi values from this model [i.e., Ŷi = β̂1 + β̂2Xi ] and then estimating the model Yi = α1 + α2Xi+ α3Ŷ2i+ vi and testing the significance of α3. Prove that, if α̂3 turns out to be statistically significant in the preceding (RESET) equation, it is the same thing as estimating the following model directly: Yi = β1 + β2Xi + β3X2i + ui.
