This paper proposes a bootstrap unit root test in models with GARCH(1,1) errors and establishes its asymptotic validity … under mild moment and distributional restrictions. While the proposed bootstrap test for a unit root shares the power … particular, the bootstrap procedure does not require explicit estimation of nuisance parameters that enter the distribution of …

The smooth bootstrap requires smoothing the irregularly-bounded density of inputs and outputs as …

The paper develops the bootstrap theory and extends the asymptotic theory of rank estimators, such as the Maximum Rank … asymptotic distributions can be consistently estimated by the nonparametric bootstrap. We investigate the accuracy of inference … based on the asymptotic approximation and the bootstrap, and provide bounds on the associated error. In the case of MRC and …

If the intensity parameter in a jump diffusion model is identically zero, then parameters characterizing the jump size density cannot be identified. In general, this lack of identification precludes consistent estimation of identified parameters. Hence, it should be standard practice to...

In this paper, we introduce a method of generating bootstrap samples with unknown patterns of cross …-sectional/spatial dependence, which we call the spatial dependent wild bootstrap. This method is a spatial counterpart to the wild dependent … bootstrap of Shao (2010) and generates data by multiplying a vector of independently and identically distributed external …

Using Monte Carlo experiments, we examine the performance of indirect inference tests of DSGE models in small samples, using various models in widespread use. We compare these with tests based on direct inference (using the Likelihood Ratio). We find that both tests have power so that a...

We propose a specification test for a wide range of parametric models for the conditional distribution function of an outcome variable given a vector of covariates. The test is based on the Cramer-von Mises distance between an unrestricted estimate of the joint distribution function of the data,...

We review the methods used in many papers to evaluate DSGE models by comparing their simulated moments and other features with data equivalents. We note that they select, scale and characterise the shocks without reference to the data; crucially they fail to use the joint distribution of the...
