Improved inference on the rank of a matrix

Chen, Qihui; Fang, Zheng - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 10 (2019) 4, pp. 1787-1824

This paper develops a general framework for conducting inference on the rank of an unknown matrix Π0. A defining feature of our setup is the null hypothesis of the form . The problem is of first‐order importance because the previous literature focuses on by implicitly assuming away , which...

The Romano-Wolf multiple hypothesis correction in Stata

Clarke, Damian; Romano, Joseph P.; Wolf, Michael - 2019

Statistical inference on the Canadian middle class

Davidson, Russell - In: Econometrics : open access journal 6 (2018) 1, pp. 1-18

Conventional wisdom says that the middle classes in many developed countries have recently suffered losses, in terms of both the share of the total population belonging to the middle class, and also their share in total income. Here, distribution-free methods are developed for inference on these...

Thirty years of heteroskedasticity-robust inference

MacKinnon, James G. - 2011

White (1980) marked the beginning of a new era for inference in econometrics. It introduced the revolutionary idea of inference that is robust to heteroskedasticity of unknown form, an idea that was very soon extended to other forms of robust inference and also led to many new estimation...

How to implement the bootstrap in static or stable dynamic regression models

Giersbergen, Noud P. A. van; Kiviet, J. F. - 2001

By combining two alternative formulations of a test statistic with two alternative resamplingschemes we obtain four different bootstrap tests. In the context of static linear regression modelstwo of these are shown to have serious size and power problems, whereas the remaining two areadequate...

A test for instrument validity

Kitagawa, Toru - 2014 - This draft: August, 2014

This paper develops a specification test for instrument validity in the heterogeneous treatment effect model with a binary treatment and a discrete instrument. The strongest testable implication for instrument validity is given by the condition for nonnegativity of point-identifiable complier's...

Bootstrap tests of mean-variance efficiency with multiple portfolio groupings

Gungor, Sermin; Luger, Richard - 2014

We propose double bootstrap methods to test the mean-variance efficiency hypothesis when multiple portfolio groupings of the test assets are considered jointly rather than individually. A direct test of the joint null hypothesis may not be possible with standard methods when the total number of...

A bootstrap test for instrument validity in heterogeneous treatment effect models

Kitagawa, Toru - 2013

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...

Robust resampling methods for time series

Camponovo, Lorenzo; Scaillet, Olivier; Trojani, Fabio - 2010 - This version: May 9, 2010

We study the robustness of block resampling procedures for time series. We first derive a set of formulas to … applications. This renders inference based on standard resampling methods useless already in simple estimation and testing settings …. To solve this problem, we introduce a robust fast resampling scheme that is applicable to a wide class of time series …

Bootstrapping systems cointegration tests with a prior adjustment for deterministic terms

Trenkler, Carsten (contributor) - 2006

In this paper we analyse bootstrap procedures for systems cointegration tests with a prior adjustment for deterministic terms suggested by Saikkonen & Lütkepohl (2000b) and Saikkonen, Lütkepohl & Trenkler (2006). The asymptotic properties of the bootstrap test procedures are derived and their...
