We use the method of indirect inference, using the bootstrap, to test the Smets and Wouters model of the EU against a VAR auxiliary equation describing their data; the test is based on the Wald statistic. We find that their model generates excessive variance compared with the data. If the errors...

We propose a consistent test for a linear functional form against a nonparametric alternative in a fixed effects panel … well for panel data with a large number of cross-sectional units and a finite number of observations across time. …

We propose a fast resample method for two step nonlinear parametric and semiparametric models, which does not require recomputation of the second stage estimator during each resample iteration. The fast resample method directly exploits the score function representations computed on each...

We propose new over-identifying restriction (OIR) tests that are robust to heteroskedasticity and serial correlations of unknown form. The proposed tests do not require consistent estimation of the asymptotic covariance matrix and hence avoid choosing the bandwidth in nonparametric kernel...

We review the methods used in many papers to evaluate DSGE models by comparing their simulated moments with data moments. We compare these with the method of Indirect Inference to which they are closely related. We illustrate the comparison with contrasting assessments of a two-country model in...

This paper extends the asymptotic theory of GMM inference to allow sample counterparts of the estimating equations to converge at (multiple) rates, different from the usual square-root of the sample size. In this setting, we provide consistent estimation of the structural parameters. In...

This article studies inference of multivariate trend model when the volatility process is nonstationary. Within a quite general framework we analyze four classes of tests based on least squares estimation, one of which is robust to both weak serial correlation and nonstationary volatility. The...

The paper examines a Lagrange Multiplier type test for the constancy of the parameter in general models with dependent data without imposing any artificial choice of the possible location of the break. In order to prove the asymptotic behaviour of the test, we extend a strong approximation...
