FWL theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In econometrics, the FWL theorem (Frisch-Waugh-Lovell theorem) is named after the econometricians Ragnar Anton Kittil Frisch, F. Waugh, and M. Lovell.

The theorem states that the determination of the coefficients in a standard regression model via ordinary least squares and a method involving projection matrices are equivalent.
