Golam Kbra ad Ghaz Shuur 3 & Dearme of Mahemacs ad Sascs, Florda Ieraoal Uversy, Mam, Florda, USA 3 Dearme of Ecoomcs ad Sascs, Jöög Uversy, Swede ad Cere for Labour Mare Polcy (CAFO), Dearme of Ecoomcs ad Sascs, Växjö Uversy, Swede Absrac I hs aer we have revewed some exsg ad roosed some ew esmaors for esmag he rdge arameer. All all 9 dffere esmaors have bee suded. The vesgao has bee carred ou usg Moe Carlo smulaos. A large umber of dffere models were vesgaed where he varace of he radom error, he umber of varables cluded he model, he correlaos amog he exlaaory varables, he samle sze ad he uow coeffces vecors β have bee vared. For each model we have erformed 000 relcaos ad reseed he resuls boh erm of fgures ad ables. Based o he smulao sudy, we foud ha creasg he umber of correlaed varable, he varace of he radom error ad creasg he correlao bewee he deede varables have egave effec o he MSE. Whe he samle sze creases he MSE decreases eve whe he correlao bewee he deede varables ad he varace of he radom error are large. I all suaos, he roosed esmaors have smaller MSE ha he ordary leas squared ad some oher exsg esmaors. Key words: Lear Model; LSE; MSE; Moe Carlo smulaos; Mulcolleary; Rdge Regresso; AMS Subjec classfcao: Prmary 6J07, Secodary 6F. Iroduco I mos of he emrcal wors racoers ofe cocer abou he secfcao of he models uder cosderao, esecally wh regards o roblems assocaed wh he resduals, wh he am of assessg whe ose errors whch oher word mles ha he model s well secfed. Model mssecfcao ca be due o omsso of oe or several releva varables, cluso of u-ecessary varables, wrog fucoal form, mssecfed dyamcs, auocorrelao, heeroscedascy, ec. I he raccal wor, s recommeded ha racoers should coduc some dagosc ess order o assure he wheess of he model uder cosderao, oherwse he esmaed resuls ca be effce, based or cosse.

3 However, here are oher roblems ha also mgh flue he resuls wrog dreco, e.g. mulcolleary. Ths roblem haes suaos whe he exlaaory varables are hghly er-correlaed. The, becomes dffcul dseagle he searae effecs of each of he exlaaory varables o he exlaed varable. As a resul, esmaed arameers ca be wrogly -sgfca or have (uexecedly) wrog sgs. Noe ha mulcolleary s more a roblem wh he daa ha wh he model self, ad hece hs d of roblems ca o be defed by resdual aalyss. As a resul, a commo defcecy may aled sudes s he absece of ayg serous aeo o hs roblem. Ideed, alhough model mssecfcao s a mora area he sascal modellg, mulcolleary s a mora ssue oo. The hsory of mulcolleary daes bac a leas o he aer by Frsch (934) who roduced he coce o deoe a suao where he varables deal wh are subjec o wo or more relaos. Oe way o deal wh hs roblem s called he rdge regresso, frs roduced by Horel ad Keard (970 a,b). A hs sage, he ma eres les fdg a value of he rdge arameer, say K, such ha he reduco he varace erm of he sloe arameer s greaer ha he crease he squared bas of. The auhors roved ha here s a ozero value of such rdge arameer for whch he Mea Squared Errors (MSE) for he slo arameer usg he rdge regresso s smaller ha he varace of he Ordary Leas Square (OLS) esmaor of he resecve arameer. May auhors hereafer wored wh hs area of research ad develoed ad roosed dffere esmaes for he rdge regresso arameer. To meo few, McDoald ad Galareau (975), Lawless ad Wag (976), Saleh ad Kbra (996), Haq ad Kbra (996), Kbra (003), Khalaf ad Shuur (005) ad Alhams, Khalaf ad Shuur (006).

The desg of a good smulao sudy s deede o () wha facors are execed o affec he roeres of he esmaors uder vesgao ad () wha crera are beg used o judge he resuls. Sce rdge esmaors are suosed o have smaller MSE comared o OLS, he MSE wll be used as crera o measure he goodess of a esmaor, whle he frs queso wll be reaed shorly.

To see wheher he magude error varace have a sgfca effec of he erformaces of he roosed esmaors, we used dffere values of he error sadard devaos 0.0, 0.5,, 3, ad 5. For each se of exlaaory varables we cosdered he coeffce vecor ha corresoded o he larges ege value of X X marx subjec o he cosra ha β β. Newhouse ad Oma (97) saed ha f he mea squared error (MSE) s a fuco of β,, ad, ad f he exlaaory varables are fxed, he he MSE s mmzed whe we choose hs coeffce vecor. For gve values of,, β,, ad, he se of exlaaory varables are geeraed. The he exerme was reeaed 000 mes ad he average mea squared error was calculaed for all 5 esmaors. 4.
