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 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...

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...
