functionals of kernel-type estimators (1 < p < ∞) and is easy to implement in general, mainly due to its recourse to the bootstrap … method. The bootstrap procedure is based on nonparametric bootstrap applied to kernel-based test statistics, with estimated … "contact sets". We provide regularity conditions under which the bootstrap test is asymptotically valid uniformly over a large …

theta_n, its bootstrap approximation, and the Bayesian posterior for all agree asymptotically. It is shown that whenever g … is Lipschitz, though not necessarily differentiable, the posterior distribution of g(theta) and the bootstrap … distribution of g(theta_n) coincide asymptotically. One implication is that Bayesians can interpret bootstrap inference for g …

This paper considers two-sided tests for the parameter of an endogenous variable in an instrumental variable (IV) model with heteroskedastic and autocorrelated errors. We develop the finite-sample theory of weighted-average power (WAP) tests with normal errors and a known long-run variance. We...

Researchers often rely on the t-statistic to make inference on parameters in statistical models. It is common practice to obtain critical values by simulation techniques. This paper proposes a novel numerical method to obtain an approximately similar test. This test rejects the null hypothesis...

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...

In an attempt to free bootstrap theory from the shackles of asymptotic considerations, this paper studies the … possibility of justifying, or validating, the bootstrap, not by letting the sample size tend to infinity, but by considering the … sequence of bootstrap P values obtained by iterating the bootstrap. The main idea of the paper is that, if this sequence …
