Abstract

In this paper, we consider efficient estimation of coefficients of interest in seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) models. Using the GMM interpretation of the usual OLS and GLS/FGLS estimation of regression coefficients in SUR models, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for the equal asymptotic efficiency of the OLS and FGLS estimators of a subset of regression coefficients. As a result, our paper extends the current SUR literature on the numerical equality of the OLS and GLS/FGLS estimators of the whole coefficient vector (see for example, Dwivedi and Srivastava, 1978) to the asymptotic equivalence of the OLS and GLS/FGLS estimators of a subset of the coefficient vector.
