In empirical applications based on linear regression models, structural changes often occur in both the error variance and regression coefficients, possibly at different dates. A commonly applied method is to first test for changes in the coefficients (or in the error variance) and, conditional...

This paper considers testing procedures for the null hypothesis of a unit root process against the alternative of a fractional process, called a fractional unit root test. We extend the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) tests of Robinson (1994) and Tanaka (1999), which are locally best invariant and...

This paper considers tests and confidence sets (CSs) concerning the coefficient on the endogenous variable in the linear IV regression model with homoskedastic normal errors and one right-hand side endogenous variable. The paper derives a finite-sample lower bound function for the probability...

This paper introduces a new identification‐ and singularity‐robust conditional quasi‐likelihood ratio (SR‐CQLR) test and a new identification‐ and singularity‐robust Anderson and Rubin (1949) (SR‐AR) test for linear and nonlinear moment condition models. Both tests are very fast to...
