This paper studies the problem of specification testing in partially identified models defined by moment (in)equalities. This problem has not been directly addressed in the literature, although several papers have suggested a test based on checking whether confidence sets for the parameters of...

In this paper, we first re-visit the inference problem for interval identified parameters originally studied in Imbens and Manski (2004) and later extended in Stoye (2008). We take the general criterion function approach and establish a new confidence interval that is asymptotically valid under...

The reason why the social contract is so different in two otherwise comparable societies like the United States and continental Western European countries represents a challenging question. Large empirical evidence shows that the difference in the political support for redistribution appears to...

This paper studies the problem of specification testing in partially indentified models defined by a finite number of moment equalities and inequalities (i.e., (in)equalities). Under the null hypothesis, there is at least one parameter value that simultaneously satisfies all of the moment...

This paper proposes set estimators and conservative confidence regions for the identified set in conditional moment inequality models using Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistics with a truncated inverse variance weighting with increasing truncation points. The new weighting differs from those proposed...

This paper considers inference for conditional moment inequality models using a multiscale statistic. We derive the asymptotic distribution of this test statistic and use the result to propose feasible critical values that have a simple analytic formula, and to prove the asymptotic validity of a...

Management existence cannot be thought without decision, and taking into consideration the role played by the management, some authors in the domain appreciate that the essence of management is represented by the process of decisiontaking. The idea that assessing management starts from the...

Business decision-making environment must integrate as a whole the experience and beliefs of the techniques makers and decision support systems used. Currently, the business information environment is becoming more complex due to the increasing volume of information relevant for business area,...

Representing a combination of mathematical methods, economic theory and statistical techniques, econometrics has an important role in fields like management, marketing, accountancy, finance, etc. The large number of practicability fields represents the reason for which, in the last decades,...
