Simulation-based Tests that Can Use Any Number of Simulations

Racine, Jeff; MacKinnon, James G. - 2004

Conventional procedures for Monte Carlo and bootstrap tests require that B, the number of simulations, satisfy a specific relationship with the level of the test. Otherwise, a test that would instead be exact will either overreject or underreject for finite B. We present expressions for the...

Inference via kernel smoothing of bootstrap P values

Racine, Jeff; MacKinnon, James G. - 2006

Resampling methods such as the bootstrap are routinely used to estimate the finite-sample null distributions of a range …

Kernel block bootstrap

Parente, Paulo M. D. C.; Smith, Richard J. - 2018 - This draft: July 2018

This article introduces and investigates the properties of a new bootstrap method for time-series data, the kernel block bootstrap. The bootstrap method, although akin to, offers an improvement over the tapered block bootstrap of Paparoditis and Politis (2001), admitting kernels with unbounded...

Robust resampling methods for time series

Camponovo, Lorenzo; Scaillet, Olivier; Trojani, Fabio - 2010 - This version: May 9, 2010

We study the robustness of block resampling procedures for time series. We first derive a set of formulas to … applications. This renders inference based on standard resampling methods useless already in simple estimation and testing settings …. To solve this problem, we introduce a robust fast resampling scheme that is applicable to a wide class of time series …

Thirty years of heteroskedasticity-robust inference

MacKinnon, James G. - 2011

White (1980) marked the beginning of a new era for inference in econometrics. It introduced the revolutionary idea of inference that is robust to heteroskedasticity of unknown form, an idea that was very soon extended to other forms of robust inference and also led to many new estimation...

A bootstrap test for instrument validity in heterogeneous treatment effect models

Kitagawa, Toru - 2013

This paper develops a specification test for the instrument validity conditions in the heterogeneous treatment effect model with a binary treatment and a discrete instrument. A necessary testable implication for the joint restriction of instrument exogeneity and instrument monotonicity is given...

A test for instrument validity

Kitagawa, Toru - 2014 - This draft: August, 2014

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...

Inference for functions of partially identified parameters in moment inequality models

Bugni, Federico A.; Canay, Ivan A.; Shi, Xiaoxia - 2014 - Ver. 10.2: May 4, 2014

This paper introduces a bootstrap-based inference method for functions of the parameter vector in a moment (in)equality model. As a special case, our method yields marginal confidence sets for individual coordinates of this parameter vector. Our inference method controls asymptotic size...

Bootstrap tests of mean-variance efficiency with multiple portfolio groupings

Gungor, Sermin; Luger, Richard - 2014

We propose double bootstrap methods to test the mean-variance efficiency hypothesis when multiple portfolio groupings of the test assets are considered jointly rather than individually. A direct test of the joint null hypothesis may not be possible with standard methods when the total number of...

Bootstrapping systems cointegration tests with a prior adjustment for deterministic terms

Trenkler, Carsten (contributor) - 2006

In this paper we analyse bootstrap procedures for systems cointegration tests with a prior adjustment for deterministic terms suggested by Saikkonen & Lütkepohl (2000b) and Saikkonen, Lütkepohl & Trenkler (2006). The asymptotic properties of the bootstrap test procedures are derived and their...
