Question: Let 0 , 1 , . . . , k be the OLS estimates from the regression of y i on x

Let β̂0, β̂1, . . . , β̂k be the OLS estimates from the regression of yi on xi1, . . . , xik, i = 1, 2, . . . , n. For nonzero constants c1, . . . , ck, argue that the OLS intercept and slopes from the regression of c0yi on c1xi1, . . . , ckxik, i = 1, 2, . . . , n, are given by β̃0 = c0 β̂0, β̂= (c0/c1) β̂1, . . . , β̂k = (c0 /ck) β̂k.

Use the fact that the β̂j solve the first order conditions in (3.13), and the β̂must solve the first order conditions involving the rescaled dependent and independent variables.
