We propose new over-identifying restriction (OIR) tests that are robust to heteroskedasticity and serial correlations of unknown form. The proposed tests do not require consistent estimation of the asymptotic covariance matrix and hence avoid choosing the bandwidth in nonparametric kernel...

Cragg and Donald (1996) have pointed out that the asymptotic size of tests for overidentifying restrictions can be much smaller than the asymptotic nominal size when the structural equation is partially identified. This may lead to misleading inference if the critical values are obtained from a...

The asymptotic refinements attributable to the block bootstrap for time series are not as large as those of the nonparametric iid bootstrap or the parametric bootstrap. One reason is that the independence between the blocks in the block bootstrap sample does not mimic the dependence structure of...
