which is a constant. That is, the variance of the transformed disturbanceterm u*i is now homoscedastic. Since we are still retaining the other as-sumptions of the classical model, the finding that it is u* that is ho-moscedastic suggests that if we apply OLS to the transformed model(11.3.3) it will produce estimators that are BLUE. In short, the estimated β∗1and β*2 are now BLUE and not the OLS estimators βˆ1 and βˆ2.This procedure of transforming the original variables in such a way thatthe transformed variables satisfy the assumptions of the classical model andthen applying OLS to them is known as the method of generalized leastsquares (GLS). In short, GLS is OLS on the transformed variables that satisfythe standard least-squares assumptions. The estimators thus obtained areknown as GLS estimators, and it is these estimators that are BLUE.The actual mechanics of estimating β*1 and β*2 are as follows. First, wewrite down the SRF of (11.3.3)
