14.1 Restricted Least Squares (RLS) 1. oLS and rls (1) Unrestricted least squares(ULS) When using the ordinary least square method(ols) to estimate the parameters we do not put any prior constraint(s)or restriction (s)on the parameters So we can estimate the parameters without any restrictions. This is Uls
14.1 Restricted Least Squares（RLS） ◼ 1. OLS and RLS （1）Unrestricted least squares(ULS): When using the ordinary least square method(OLS) to estimate the parameters, we do not put any prior constraint（s）or restriction(s) on the parameters. So we can estimate the parameters without any restrictions. This is ULS
(2)Restricted least squares(RLs) inY=B1+B2×21+B×31+u1 If we put any restrictions on the parameters such as B.=2 or B.+ B.=1. we use RLs method to estimate The steps of RLS: transform the data to take into account the restrictions suggested by the relevant theory apply the least squares method (ols)
（2）Restricted least squares(RLS) In Yi=B1+B2X2i+B3X3i+ui If we put any restrictions on the parameters, such as B2 =2, or B2+ B3 =1, we use RLS method to estimate. The steps of RLS: ·transform the data to take into account the restrictions suggested by the relevant theory, ·apply the least squares method (OLS)

Hypothesis testing If F>F refuse H the restriction(s) imposed by the theory is not valid ( statistically speaking), reject the restricted least squares regression. use the standard ols method If F<F, accept H the given restriction is valid, the rls regression is preferred to ULS
Hypothesis testing: If F>Fc , refuse H0 , the restriction(s) imposed by the theory is not valid （statistically speaking）, reject the restricted least squares regression , use the standard OLS method. If F<Fc , accept H0 , the given restriction is valid, the RLS regression is preferred to ULS

2. Problems in estimation of distributed Lag Models. The distributed lag model (14.13) does not violate any of the standard assumptions of the classical linear regression model(CLRM), but when we use the ols to estimate. there are some practical problems: (1 Economic theory does not tell us how many lagged values of the explanatory variables should be introduced
