Forecast evaluation of small nested model sets
Hubrich, Kirstin; West, Kenneth D. - 2009
We propose two new procedures for comparing the mean squared prediction error (MSPE) of a benchmark model to the MSPEs of a small set of alternative models that nest the benchmark. Our procedures compare the bench-mark to all the alternative models simultaneously rather than sequentially, and do...

Specification Testing in Random Coefficient Models
Breunig, Christoph; Hoderlein, Stefan - 2018
In this paper, we suggest and analyze a new class of specification tests for random coefficient models. These tests allow to assess the validity of central structural features of the model, in particular linearity in coefficients, generalizations of this notion like a known nonlinear functional...

On Testing the Equality of Mean and Quantile Effects
Bera, Anil K.; Galvao, Antonio F.; Wang, Liang - In: Journal of Econometric Methods 3 (2014) 1, pp. 47-62
Abstract This paper proposes tests for equality of the mean regression (MR) and quantile regression (QR) coefficients. The tests are based on the asymptotic joint distribution of the ordinary least squares and QR estimators. First, we formally derive the asymptotic joint distribution of these...
