unrelated regressions, and tests for aggregation bias," Journal of the American 
Statistical Association, Vol 57, pp348--68.
* For a discusssion, generalization and related references see, p. 306---, Ch 
9. of Russell Davidson and James MacKinnon (1993). Estimation and Inference 
in Econometrics.
* See, William Greene. Econometric Analysis. (Nth edition) for recepies,
