Economists are often interested in the coefficient of a single endogenous explanatory variable in a linear simultaneous equations model. One way to obtain a confidence set for this coefficient is to invert the Anderson-Rubin test. The AR confidence sets that result have correct coverage under...

The fast double bootstrap, or FDB, is a procedure for calculating bootstrap P values that is much more computationally … efficient than the double bootstrap itself. In many cases, it can provide more accurate results than ordinary bootstrap tests …. For the fast double bootstrap to be valid, the test statistic must be asymptotically independent of the random parts of …

We study several tests for the coefficient of the single right-hand-side endogenous variable in a linear equation estimated by instrumental variables. We show that all the test statistics--Student's t, Anderson-Rubin, Kleibergen's K, and likelihood ratio (LR)--can be written as functions of six...

We perform an extensive series of Monte Carlo experiments to compare the performance of two variants of the "Jackknife Instrumental Variables Estimator," or JIVE, with that of the more familiar 2SLS and LIML estimators. We find no evidence to suggest that JIVE should ever be used. It is always...

We propose a wild bootstrap procedure for linear regression models estimated by instrumental variables. Like other … bootstrap procedures that we have proposed elsewhere, it uses efficient estimates of the reduced-form equation(s). Unlike them … methods, such as the pairs bootstrap. We also show how to obtain reliable confidence intervals by inverting bootstrap tests …

There are many bootstrap methods that can be used for econometric analysis. In certain circumstances, such as … regression models with independent and identically distributed error terms, appropriately chosen bootstrap methods generally work … very well. However, there are many other cases, such as regression models with dependent errors, in which bootstrap methods …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tests of Hansen (1991) to detect structural breaks in cointegrated relations using Monte Carlo methods. The evaluation takes place within the linear quadratic model. The evidence for a single regressor suggests that the test have proper size and...

Non-nested hypothesis tests provide a way to test the specification of an econometric model against the evidence provided by one or more non-nested alternatives. This paper surveys the recent literature on non-nested hypothesis testing in the context of regression and related models. Much of the...
