In simultaneous equation (SE) contexts, nuisance parameter, weak instruments and identification problems severely complicate exact and asymptotic tests (except for very specific hypotheses). In this paper, we propose exact likelihood based tests for possibly nonlinear hypotheses on the...

In this paper, we study the invariance properties of various test criteria which have been proposed for hypothesis testing in the context of incompletely specified models, such as models which are formulated in terms of estimating functions (Godambe, 1960) moment conditions and are estimated by...

In this paper, we propose finite-sample inference procedures for parametric econometric models whose likelihood function is intractable and require simulation-based estimation methods, like indirect inference (Gourieroux, Monfort and Renault, 1993) or the efficient method of moments (Gallant and...

In this paper we use optimal-instrument and new finite-sample methods to test the empirical relevance of the New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) equation. Unlike generalized method of moments-based methods, these generalized Anderson-Rubin tests are immune to the presence of weak instruments,...

We propose finite sample tests and confidence sets for models with unobserved and generated regressors as well as various models estimated by instrumental variables method. We study two distinct approaches for various models considered by Pagan (1984). The first one is an instrument substitution...
