The bootstrap is a statistical technique used more and more widely in econometrics. While it is capable of yielding …, if observed, help to obtain the best the bootstrap can offer. Bootstrapping always involves setting up a bootstrap data …-generating process (DGP). The main types of bootstrap DGP in current use are discussed, with examples of their use in econometrics. The …

Despite much recent work on the finite-sample properties of estimators and tests for linear regression models with a … regression coefficient, are functions of only six quadratic forms in the two endogenous variables of the model. They are closely … impossible to perform reliable inference near the point at which the limit is ill-defined. Several bootstrap procedures are …

We first propose procedures for estimating the rejection probabilities for bootstrap tests in Monte Carlo experiments … without actually computing a bootstrap test for each replication. These procedures are only about twice as expensive as … estimating rejection probabilities for asymptotic tersts. We then propose procedures for computing modified bootstrap P values …

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 introduce the concept of the bootstrap discrepancy, which measures the difference in rejection probabilities between … a bootstrap test based on a given test statistic and that of a (usually infeasible) test based on the true distribution … of the statistic. We show that the bootstrap discrepancy is of the same order of magnitude under the null hypothesis and …
