Which of the following statements are true concerning a triangular or recursive system of equations?
- 1The parameters can be validly estimated using separate applications of OLS to each equation because error terms across equations are independent.✓
- 2The independent variables are always correlated with the error terms in other equations.
- 3An application of two-stage least squares is mandatory to achieve unbiased and efficient parameter estimation.
- 4The error terms of the distinct equations are mutually uncorrelated, meaning the disturbance in one equation does not affect another.
