This paper considers two-sided tests for the parameter of an endogenous variable in an instrumental variable (IV) model with heteroskedastic and autocorrelated errors. We develop the finite-sample theory of weighted-average power (WAP) tests with normal errors and a known long-run variance. We...

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 …

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 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...

Researchers often rely on the t-statistic to make inference on parameters in statistical models. It is common practice to obtain critical values by simulation techniques. This paper proposes a novel numerical method to obtain an approximately similar test. This test rejects the null hypothesis...

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 …
