What are the possible effects of outliers on a regression analysis?

I know that outliers can dramatically change the magnitude of the regression coefficients and even change the direction of the coefficient signs. I am wondering however if there are set effects (a list) which are effects of outliers?

  1. May have severe influence on fitted line ⇒ systematic lack of fit at other observations

  2. May inflate residual variance

    ⇒ low R2

    ⇒ non-significant slope β1

  3. Observations with large standardized residuals (numerically larger than 2) are flagged by Minitab
