When dealing with heteroscedastic data, OLS standard errors are biased and cannot be relied upon. Consider $x_t \sim U(0,2)$, $z_t \sim U(0,2)$, $u \sim N(0, \sqrt{x})$ and $y_t = x_t+u_t$. Now fit ...

Robust standard errors (White) under homoscedasticity
Robust standard errors (White standard errors) are given by:
$$\hat{V}(b)=(\sum_{i=1}^N x_ix_i')^{-1}(\sum_{i=1}^N e_i^2x_ix_i')(\sum_{i=1}^N x_ix_i')^{-1}$$
This helps us to estimate a asymptotic ...
