This paper studies the problem of specification testing in partially identified models defined by a finite number of moment equalities and inequalities (i.e., (in)equalities). Under the null hypothesis, there is at least one parameter value that simultaneously satisfies all of the moment...

This paper develops a specification test for instrument validity in the heterogeneous treatment effect model with a binary treatment and a discrete instrument. The strongest testable implication for instrument validity is given by the condition for nonnegativity of point-identifiable complier's...

In an attempt to free bootstrap theory from the shackles of asymptotic considerations, this paper studies the … possibility of justifying, or validating, the bootstrap, not by letting the sample size tend to infinity, but by considering the … sequence of bootstrap P values obtained by iterating the bootstrap. The main idea of the paper is that, if this sequence …

We consider testing for weak instruments in a model with multiple endogenous variables. Unlike Stock and Yogo (2005), who considered a weak instruments problem where the rank of the matrix of reduced form parameters is near zero, here we consider a weak instruments problem of a near rank...

functionals of kernel-type estimators (1 < p < ∞) and is easy to implement in general, mainly due to its recourse to the bootstrap … method. The bootstrap procedure is based on nonparametric bootstrap applied to kernel-based test statistics, with estimated … "contact sets". We provide regularity conditions under which the bootstrap test is asymptotically valid uniformly over a large …

This paper applies a novel bootstrap method, the kernel block bootstrap, to quasi-maximum likelihood estimation of …" bootstrap. We investigate the first order asymptotic properties of the kernel block bootstrap method for quasi …-maximum likelihood demonstrating, in particular, its consistency and the first-order asymptotic validity of the bootstrap approximation …

This article generalizes and extends the kernel block bootstrap (KBB) method of Parente and Smith (2018, 2021) to … moment conditions. KBB procedures that employ bootstrap distributions with generalised empirical likelihood implied … bootstrap distributions in the extant literature. Simulation experiments reveal that critical values arising from the empirical …

This paper develops inference and statistical decision for set-identified parameters from the robust Bayes perspective. When a model is set-identified, prior knowledge for model parameters is decomposed into two parts: the one that can be updated by data (revisable prior knowledge) and the one...
