Whenever there is strong heteroskedasticity, it is preferable to use OLS rather than WLS, which may use a possibly misspecified variance function

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

Rationale: While WLS is not guaranteed to be more efficient than OLS when the variance function is misspecified, with strong heteroskedasticity, it is still preferable to apply WLS using a possibly incorrect variance function than to use OLS, ignoring heteroskedasticity altogether.
