Perfect Collinearity
The error term u has a zero expected value given any values of the explana-
tory variables. In other words,
E (ujx1 ; x2 ; :::; xk ) = 0

V ar (ujx1 ; x2 ; :::; xk ) = :

We can interpret j and cj as:
0 : The average value of the dependent variable for the observations in the
population with all independent variables equal to zero.
