Tests for Violations of Moment Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents optimal tests for violations of the moment conditions in the GMM framework New tests are presented for the validity of the overidentifying restric tions The usefulness of these tests is highlighted by a simple AR example with insta bility in the moment conditions For this example the J test in Hansen does not reject the overidentifying restrictions but the rejection by a parameter stability test incorrectly suggests a time varying parameter model The new tests correctly show the instability in the moment conditions and would direct the researcher to consider alternative moment conditions

Near Exogeneity and Weak Identification in Generalized Empirical Likelihood Estimators: Many Moment Asymptotics
This paper investigates the Generalized Empirical Likelihood (GEL) Estimators when there are local violations of the exogeneity condition (near exogeneity) in the case of many weak moments. We also examine the tradeoff between the degree of violation of the exogeneity and the number of nearly exogenous instruments. In this respect, this paper extends many weak moment asymptotics of Newey and Wi...
متن کاملThe Conditions of the Violations of Le Chatlier’s Principle in Gas Reactions at Constant T and P
Le Chatelier's principle is used as a very simple way to predict the effect of a change in conditions on a chemical equilibrium. . However, several studies have reported the violation of this principle, still there is no reported simple mathematical equation to express the exact condition of violation in the gas phase reactions. In this article, we derived a simple equation for the violation of...
متن کاملTests to Determine the Joint Stiffness and Resisting Moment Capacity of Joints in Timber-Framed Houses
Wind and earthquake disasters in the world often cause billions of dollars of damage to buildings, most of which is to non-engineered buildings-especially homes. Wood-frame homes use connectors which exhibit partial rotational rigidity at the member ends, making analytical solutions difficult. This is due to the lack of information about the complex behavior of the connections used in this type...

متن کاملEffect of segmental joint stiffness on tunnel lining internal forces under static conditions
According to the wide application of segmental lining in mechanized tunneling, recognizing the behavior of segmental lining joints is important in tunnels designing. In the structural analysis of the tunnel segmental lining, segmental joints can be considered as elastic joints, and their stiffness characteristics are affected by the rotational, shear, and axial stiffness. The purpose of this wo...
