AB  - We study ridge regression based on uniformly subsampled observations in high-dimensional linear models, where the number of predictors and the sample size grow proportionally. Subsampling is implemented through independent Bernoulli indicators with a common selection probability. We establish central limit theorems for linear contrasts of the ridge estimator, allowing for non-Gaussian predictors and general population covariance matrices. Under a vanishing-signal assumption, we obtain an explicit bias correction in the isotropic case and develop consistent estimators of the asymptotic variances. These results enable asymptotically valid tests for linear contrasts of the regression parameter in the isotropic setting. Our proofs exploit the resolvent representation of the ridge estimator and combine leave-one-out arguments with deterministic equivalents from random matrix theory.
