In this paper we provide considerable Monte Carlo evidence on the finite sample performance of several alternative forms of White?s [1982] IM test. Using linear regression and probit models, we extend the range of previous analysis in a manner that reveals new patterns in the behavior of the...

To date the literature on quantile regression and least absolute deviation regression has assumed either explicitly or implicitly that the conditional quantile regression model is correctly specified. When the model is misspecified, confidence intervals and hypothesis tests based on the...

In structural economic models, individuals are usually characterized as solving a decision problem that is governed by a finite set of parameters. This paper discusses the nonparametric estimation of the probability density function of these parameters if they are allowed to vary continuously...
