This paper develops a specification test for the instrument validity conditions in the heterogeneous treatment effect model with a binary treatment and a discrete instrument. A necessary testable implication for the joint restriction of instrument exogeneity and instrument monotonicity is given...

Estimation results obtained by parametric models may be seriously misleading when the model is misspecified or poorly approximates the true model. This study proposes a test that jointly tests the specifications of multiple response probabilities in unordered multinomial choice models. The test...

Identification via heteroskedasticity exploits differences in variances across regimes to identify parameters in … parameter vector. I apply these tools to monetary policy shocks, identified using heteroskedasticity in high frequency data. I …

estimation, that incorporates heteroskedasticity in a natural way and does not use a generalized inverse. A Monte Carlo study … examines the performance of the statistic for different heteroskedasticity-robust variance estimators and different skedastic … empirical power, how one corrects for heteroskedasticity matters. We also compare its performance with that of the Wald …

allowance for heteroskedasticity is generally important. The solution is a Fuller (1977) like estimator and standard errors that … are robust to heteroskedasticity and many instruments. We show that the estimator has finite moments and high asymptotic …) under homoskedasticity, and has much lower bias and dispersion under heteroskedasticity, in nearly all cases considered. …

The recent literature on convergence has departed from the earlier literature by focusing on the shape of the production function and the rate at which an economy converges to its own steady state. This paper uses advances from the recent literature to look back at the question that originally...

We consider robust inference for an autoregressive parameter in a stationary autoregressive model with GARCH innovations when estimation is based on least squares estimation. As the innovations exhibit GARCH, they are by construction heavy-tailed with some tail index κ. The rate of consistency...

heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors. This paper develops the "fixed-bandwidth" alternative asymptotic theory for RD designs, which … there is local heteroskedasticity. Feasible estimators of fixed-bandwidth standard errors are easy to implement and are akin … to treating RD estimators as locally parametric, validating the common empirical practice of using heteroskedasticity …

This article investigates model checks for a class of possibly nonlinear heteroskedastic time series models, including but not restricted to ARMA-GARCH models. We propose omnibus tests based on functionals of certain weighted standardized residual empirical processes. The new tests are...
