We investigate the small sample properties of two types of weak exogeneity tests in cointegrated VAR models that are frequently used in applied work. The first one is the standard Likelihood Ratio (LR) test in the Johansen framework. The second test is based on mapping the cointegrated VAR model...

We consider the partially linear model relating a response Y to predictors (X,T) with mean function XT ß + g (T) when the X's are measured with additive error. The semiparametric likelihood estimate of Severini and Staniswalis (1994) leads to biased estimates of both the parameter ß and the...

In empirical applications of structural equation modeling researchers often assume that the sample under investigation is homogenous unless observed characteristics allow for a division of the sample into mutual exclusive homogenous subgroups. If such information is not available, unobserved...
