Inference in Linear Models with Nonstochastic Biased Factors [PDF]
Obenchain (1977) claimed that ridge techniques with nonstochastic of biased factors don't generally yield "new" normal theory statistical inference than that used in least squares technique, and that the t and F statistics are identical under both ...

Bootstrap methods for inference in the Parks model
This paper shows how to bootstrap hypothesis tests in the context of the Parks’s (1967) Feasible Generalized Least Squares estimator. It then demonstrates that the bootstrap outperforms FGLS(Parks)’s top competitor.

On the biased Two-Parameter Estimator to Combat Multicollinearity in Linear Regression Model
The most popularly used estimator to estimate the regression parameters in the linear regression model is the ordinary least-squares (OLS). The existence of multicollinearity in the model renders OLS inefficient.
