In this paper we propose exact likelihood-based mean-variance efficiency tests of the market portfolio in the context of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), allowing for a wide class of error distributions which include normality as a special case. These tests are developed in the framework of...

In this paper, we propose finite and large sample likelihood based test procedures for possibly non-linear hypotheses on the coefficients of SURE systems. Two complementary approaches are described. First, we propose an exact Monte Carlo bounds test based on the standard likelihood ratio...

We use the Monte-Carlo (MC) test technique to find valid p-values when testing for discontinuities in jump-diffusion models. While the distribution of the LR statistic for this test is typically non-standard, we show that the MC p-value is finite sample exact if no other (identified) nuisance...
