So far we have considered only one regressorXbesides the constant in the regression equation. Economic relationships usually include more than one regressor. For example, a demand equation for a product will usually include real price of that product in addition to real income as well as real price of a competitive product and the advertising expenditures on this product. In this case $$Y_i = \alpha + \beta_2 X_{2i} + \beta_3 X_{3i} + .. + \beta_K X_{Ki} + u_i \quad i= 1,2, \ldots, n$$ whereYidenotes thei-th observation on the dependent variableY, in this case the sales of this product.Xkidenotes thei-th observation on the independent variableXkfork= 2, … ,Kin this case, own price, the competitor’s price and advertising expenditures.αis the intercept andβ2,β3, … ,βKare the (K− 1) slope coefficients. Theui’s satisfy the classical assumptions 1–4 given in Chapter 3. Assumption 4 is modified to include all theX’s appearing in the regression, i.e., everyXkfork= 2, ’ ,K, is uncorrelated with theui’s with the property that $$\sum\nolimits^{n}_{i=1} (X_{ki} - \bar{X}_k)^2/n \ \hbox{where} \ \bar{X}_k = \sum\nolimits^{n}_{i=1} X_{ki}/n$$ has a finite probability limit which is different from zero.
