(i) Consider the simple linear regression model y = β0 + β1x + u under the first four Gauss-Markov assumptions.
Define a slope estimator as β1^ = (yn − y1)/(xn − x1) . Show that β1^ is linear and unbiased.
(ii) Assuming in addition that the model is homoskedastic, derive Var(β1^|X).
(iii) Do you expect β1^ to be as efficient as OLS? Explain why
