A bootstrap simulation approach was used to generate values for endogenous variables of a simultaneous equation model popularly known as Keynesian Model of Income Determination. Three sample sizes 20, 30 and 40 each replicated 10, 20 and 30 times were considered. Four different estimation techniques: Ordinary Least Square (OLS); Indirect Least Square (ILS); Two-Stage Least Square (2SLS) and Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) methods were employed to estimate the parameters of the model. The estimators were then evaluated using the average parameter estimates; absolute bias of the estimates and the root mean square error of the estimates. The result shows that generally, ILS provided the best estimates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
