We propose a generalization of the wild bootstrap of Wu (1986) and Liu (1988) based upon perturbing the scores of M …-estimators. This "score bootstrap" procedure avoids recomputing the estimator in each bootstrap iteration, making it substantially less … costly to compute than the conventional nonparametric bootstrap, particularly in complex nonlinear models. Despite this …

Since the advent of heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors, several papers have proposed adjustments to the original White formulation. We replicate earlier findings that each of these adjusted estimators performs quite poorly in finite samples. We propose a class of alternative...

We examine the higher order properties of the wild bootstrap (Wu, 1986) in a linear regression model with stochastic … regressors. We find that the ability of the wild bootstrap to provide a higher order refinement is contingent upon whether the … errors are mean independent of the regressors or merely uncorrelated. In the latter case, the wild bootstrap may fail to …

In Israel, as in many other countries, a high school matriculation certificate is required by universities and some jobs. In spite of the certificate's value, Israeli society is marked by vast differences in matriculation rates by region and socioeconomic status. We attempted to increase the...
