Another confusing misprint in S&W

Thanks again to Trond V., who discovered yet another false statement in Stock and Watson.

On page 257 they write that the estimated variance of B1 divided by the true value of B1 will converge to -1

This is of course not correct. Since the numerator will converge towards the true value (which is the denominator), this will converge towards 1 and not -1.

Solution proposals

Update:

After several verbal threats to the scanner, sledgehammer acquired and attempts made, the effort finally paid off. 

Solution proposals are up (you find them under the "Seminars"-tab)

Solutions to Stock and Watson exercises

Hi all.

I've had quite a few requests for the solutions to the seminar problems from those who didn't attend the seminars. 

I am trying to sort this out. However, the scanner didn't want to co-operate with me today, so I'm so far unsuccessful in scanning my notes. 

It will be my hand-written notes you will receive if/when I manage to scan them. Will do another attempt on Monday. 

Again - If you have specific questions in Stock and Watson you need help with, I will try my best to give you a brief solution by email. However, note that I also have exams. 

Best of luck on your exam.

Herman
