This paper illustrates the usefulness of resampling-based methods in the context of multiple (simultaneous) tests, with emphasis on econometric applications. Economic theory often suggests joint (or simultaneous) hypotheses on econometric models; consequently, the problem of evaluating joint...

The hypothesis that a variable is independent of past information, such as its own past and past realizations of other observable variables, is a frequent implication of economic theory. Yet standard regression-based tests of orthogonality may not have the correct level if there is feedback from...

The main purpose of the paper is to illustrate the use of a dummy variable interpretation of the predictive Chow test against structural change. After describing how the predictive Chow test against structural change in linear regression models can be viewed as a test on the coefficients of a...

In this paper, we consider a linear regression model with Gaussian autoregressive errors of order p = 2, which may be nonstationary. Exact inference methods (tests and confidence regions) are developed for the autoregressive parameters and the regression coefficients. We generalize the method...

We study the incidence of tax expenditures due to deductions from taxable income of individuals by the federal and provincial governments in Quebec. Using original data for the year 1977, we measure separately the tax expenditures of the two levels of government. We consider twenty deductions...
