Abstract

This paper proposed a transformed method of SUR model which provided unbiased estimation in case of two and three equations of high and low co-linearity for both small and large datasets. The generalized least squares (GLS) method for estimation of seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model proposed by Zellner (1962), Srivastava and Giles (1987),provided higher MSE. Although the Ridge estimators proposed by Alkhamisi and Shukur (2008) provided smaller MSE in comparison with others, it was not unbiased in case of severe multicollinearity.This study showed that our proposed method typically provided unbiasedestimator with lower MSE and TMSE than traditional methods.
