In this paper, I propose a one-step nondegenerate test as an alternative to the classical Vuong (1989) tests. I show that the new test achieves uniform asymptotic size control in both the overlapping and the non-overlapping cases, while the classical Vuong tests do not. Meanwhile, the power of...

This paper introduces a bootstrap-based inference method for functions of the parameter vector in a moment (in)equality model. These functions are restricted to be linear for two-sided testing problems, but may be nonlinear for one-sided testing problems. In the most common case, this function...
