Reasons:
Cross section data deal with members of a
sample/population at a given point of time.
Data relating to individual consumers, firms,
industries etc who may be different or may be
heterogeneous in character.
In time series data the variable tend to be of
similar order since the entity is same and data
are collected over a period of time.
A rule in CS data rather than an exception.

•One of the assumptions of the CLRM is that
there is no Multicollinearity amongst the
explanatory variables.
•Multicollinearity refers to perfect or exact
relationship among some or all explanatory
variables

X2i = 5X1i & X*2 was created by adding 2,
0, 7, 9 & 2 from, a random number table.
Here r1.2 = 1 & r2.2* = 0.99
X1 & X2 show perfect
multicollinearity
X2 & X*2 near-perfect
multicollinearity
•The problem of multicollinearity and its
degree in types of data
•Overlap between the variables indicates
Example:
Y = a + b1x1 + b2x2 + u
where
Y = Consumption Expenditure
X1 = Income & X2 = Wealth
Consumption expenditure depends on income (x1) and
wealth (x2)
•The estimated equation from a set of data is as follows:
Ŷ = 24.77 + 0.94x1 – 0.04x2
