Abstract
We examine the risk of a pre-test estimator for regression coefficients after a pre-test for homoskedasticity under the Balanced Loss Function (BLF). We show analytically that the two stage Aitken estimator is dominated by the pre-test estimator with the critical value of unity, even if the BLF is used. We also show numerically that both the two stage Aitken estimator and the pre-test estimator can be dominated by the ordinary least squares estimator when “goodness of fit” is regarded as more important than precision of estimation.
