under both the null hypothesis (level) and the alternative hypothesis (power), with or without identification. We show that … the usual chi-squares critical values are still applicable even when identification is weak. So, all proposed tests can be … described as robust to weak instruments. We also show that test consistency may still hold even if the overall identification …

We conduct a Monte Carlo study of the global regularity properties of the Normalized Quadratic model. We particularly investigate monotonicity violations, as well as the performance of methods of locally and globally imposing curvature. We find that monotonicity violations are especially likely...
