Testing for Nonparametric Identification of Causal Effects in the Presence of a Quasi-Instrument
de Luna, Xavier; Johansson, Per - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012
The identification of average causal effects of a treatment in observational studies is typically based either on the unconfoundedness assumption or on the availability of an instrument. When available, instruments may also be used to test for the unconfoundedness assumption (exogeneity of the...

New robust tests for the parameters of the Weibull distribution for complete and censored data
Denecke, Liesa; Müller, Christine - In: Metrika 77 (2014) 5, pp. 585-607
Using the likelihood depth, new consistent and robust tests for the parameters of the Weibull distribution are developed. Uncensored as well as type-I right-censored data are considered. Tests are given for the shape parameter and also the scale parameter of the Weibull distribution, where in...

Equivalence Between Out-of-Sample Forecast Comparisons and Wald Statistics
Hansen, Peter Reinhard; Timmermann, Allan - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012
We establish the equivalence between a commonly used out-of-sample test of equal predictive accuracy and the difference between two Wald statistics. This equivalence greatly simpli?es the computational burden of calculating recursive out-of-sample tests and evaluating their critical values. Our...

The Fiscal Theory of the Price Level - identification and testing for the UK in the 1970s
Fan, Jingwen; Minford, A. Patrick L.; Ou, Zhirong - Economics Section, Cardiff Business School - 2013
We investigate whether the Fiscal Theory of the Price Level (FTPL) can explain UK inflation in the 1970s. We confront the identification problem involved by setting up the FTPL as a structural model for the episode and pitting it against an alternative Orthodox model; the models have a reduced...
