Tests for Over-identifying Restrictions in Partially Identified Linear Structural Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cragg and Donald (1996) have pointed out that the asymptotic size of tests for overidentifying restrictions can be much smaller than the asymptotic nominal size when the structural equation is partially identified. This may lead to misleading inference if the critical values are obtained from a chi-square distribution. To overcome this problem we derive the exact asymptotic distribution of the Byron test statistic. This allows the calculation of asymptotic critical values and p-values corrected for possible failure of identification. JEL Classification: C12, C30

The Asymptotic Distribution of Tests for Over-identification in Partially Identified Linear Structural Equations
We study the asymptotic distribution of the statistics suggested by Sargan/Byron/Wegge and Basmann for testing for over-identification in partially identified linear structural equations and derive closed form expressions for their asymptotic densities. These allow us to understand the asymptotic behaviour of these statistics in cases where identification of the structural parameters fails. We ...

متن کاملPivotal Structural Change Tests in Linear Simultaneous Equations with Weak Identification
This paper develops asymptotically pivotal structural change tests in simultaneous equations with weakly identified parameters. In former literature, Caner (2007) proposes boundedly pivotal structural change tests when there are weakly identified parameters. The tests developed in this article are new, and benefit from reparameterizing the model. This results in asymptotically pivotal tests. Si...
متن کاملSome Fixed Point Theorems in Generalized Metric Spaces Endowed with Vector-valued Metrics and Application in Linear and Nonlinear Matrix Equations
Let $mathcal{X}$ be a partially ordered set and $d$ be a generalized metric on $mathcal{X}$. We obtain some results in coupled and coupled coincidence of $g$-monotone functions on $mathcal{X}$, where $g$ is a function from $mathcal{X}$ into itself. Moreover, we show that a nonexpansive mapping on a partially ordered Hilbert space has a fixed point lying in the unit ball of the Hilbert space. ...
متن کاملWeaker Mse Criteria and Tests for Linear Restrictions in Regression Models with Non-spherical Disturbances
This paper extends, in an asymptotic sense, the strong and the weaker mean square error criteria and corresponding tests to linear models with non-spherical disturbances where the error covariance matrix is unknown but a consistent estimator for it is available. The mean square error tests of Toro-Vizcorrondo and Wallace (1968) and Wallace (1972) test for the superiority of restricted over unre...
