10. Consider the wage equation $\ln(wagei) = \beta0 + \beta1 educi + ui$, where ui contains unobserved ability abilityi and local labor-market quality Li. Assume Cov(educi, abilityi) > 0and Li directly affects wages. A proposed instrument is distance to nearest college, zi. Suppose zi is strongly correlated with Li (e.g. urban areas have smaller distance and higher wages even holding education fixed), and $L_i$ is omitted from the regression. Which statement is most correct?
(A) The exclusion restriction may fail because \( z{i} \) can affect \( \ln (wage{i}) \) through \( L{i} \), so \( Cov(z{i},u_{i}) \) may be nonzero.
(B) If
is always consistent regardless of \( L_i \)
(C) Adding an intercept is sufficient to control for \( L_{i} \)
(D) If OLS is biased, IV must be unbiased in finite samples
