We propose a new specification test for assessing the validity of fuzzy regression discontinuity designs (FRD‐validity). We derive a new set of testable implications, characterized by a set of inequality restrictions on the joint distribution of observed outcomes and treatment status at the...

Correct specification of a conditional quantile model implies that a particular conditional moment is equal to zero. We nonparametrically estimate the conditional moment function via series regression and test whether it is identically zero using uniform functional inference. Our approach is...

We develop two new methods for selecting the penalty parameter for the e1-penalized high-dimensional M-estimator, which we refer to as the analytic and bootstrap-after-cross-validation methods. For both methods, we derive nonasymptotic error bounds for the corresponding e1-penalized M-estimator...

In this paper, we propose a simple dependent wild bootstrap procedure for us to establish valid inferences for a wide class of panel data models including those with interactive fixed effects. The proposed method allows for the error components having weak correlation over both dimensions, and...

This study investigated the correlations of economic growth, energy consumption, and globalization in selected countries. For this purpose, the study gathered data between 1984 and 2013 from 11 countries, where a causality panel test was employed using Kónya’s (2006) approach based on the...
