A note on the (in)consistency of the test of overidentifying restrictions and the concepts of true and pseudo-true parameters

In the linear instrumental variables model, we characterize fixed alternatives against which the test of overidentifying restrictions (OR) is inconsistent. When there is the notion of a “true parameter”, we relate this inconsistency result to the literature on optimality properties of various versions of the test of OR.
