This document discusses the concepts of functional form and nonlinearities in econometric models, emphasizing the differences between linear and nonlinear models in terms of parameter estimation. It explains how to handle nonlinearity in variables and parameters, the use of polynomial models, log-based models, interaction effects, and specification issues. The document also covers methods for estimating partial effects, testing for specification errors, and the challenges associated with nonlinear least squares estimation.

Click ‘Get Form’ to open the Section 6 Functional Form and Nonlinearities document in the editor.
Begin by reviewing Assumption #0, ensuring all observations follow the same model. This foundational understanding is crucial for accurate analysis.
Fill in the section on nonlinearity in variables versus parameters. Clearly differentiate between models that are linear in parameters and those that are not, as this will guide your approach to solving for OLS estimators.
Incorporate any necessary quadratic or higher-order polynomial models by entering relevant equations directly into the designated fields. Ensure you include graphs of response functions where applicable.
Utilize dummy variables to explore nonlinearities effectively. Input your findings based on different levels of regressors, which can help illustrate relationships clearly.
Finally, review your entries for accuracy and completeness before saving or exporting your filled form for submission.
