This paper examines the possibilities of moment estimators of regression coefficients in the errors-in-variables problem suggested by Geary (1942) and others [Scott (1950) and Drion (1951)]. This approach yields consistent estimators of regression coefficients based on uni- and bi-variate moments (or cumulants) of third or higher order. These are computationally simple and need milder assumptions than the standard techniques, viz., ML and IV estimation. After a review of past investigations, this paper proposes new moment estimators and compares the asymptotic efficiencies of six estimators proposed earlier or here and of the OLS estimator. The case where the true regressor is lognormally distributed receives considerable attention in this communication.
