Dear Cyril,
I'm not sure I understand the question.
So I will answer a different but possibly related one !
If regressors A and B are correlated then you can test for what they
explain together using a [1 0; 0 1] F-contrast and what each explains
*over and above what is explained by the other* using a t-contrast [1 0]
and [0 1].
The issue of correlated variables is perhaps best dealt with by thinking
about statistical tests rather than parameter estimates.
Best,
Will.
