We derive a new matrix statistic for the Hausman test for endogeneity in cross-sectional Instrumental Variables estimation, that incorporates heteroskedasticity in a natural way and does not use a generalized inverse. A Monte Carlo study examines the performance of the statistic for different...

An intersection–union test for supporting the hypothesis that a given investment strategy is optimal among a set of alternatives is presented. It compares the Sharpe ratio of the benchmark with that of each other strategy. The intersection–union test takes serial dependence into account and...

While coping with nonsphericality of the disturbances, standard GMM suffers from a blind spot for exploiting the most effective instruments when these are obtained directly from unconditional rather than conditional moment assumptions. For instance, standard GMM counteracts that exogenous...

This paper proposes estimating linear dynamic panels by explicitly exploiting the endogeneity of lagged dependent variables and expressing the crossmoments between the endogenous lagged dependent variables and disturbances in terms of model parameters. These moments, when recentered, form the...

In the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity, inference about the coefficients in a linear regression model these days is typically based on the ordinary least squares estimator in conjunction with using heteroskedasticity consistent standard errors. Similarly, even when the true form of...

This paper introduces a new confidence interval (CI) for the autoregressive parameter (AR) in an AR(1) model that allows for conditional heteroskedasticity of general form and AR parameters that are less than or equal to unity. The CI is a modification of Mikusheva's (2007a) modification of...

The Newey and West (1987) estimator has become the standard way to estimate a heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) covariance matrix, but it does not immediately apply to time series with missing observations. We demonstrate that the intuitive approach to estimate the true...

nonlinear model. At the heart of nonlinear modeling is the concept of heteroscedasticity. Heteroscedasticity refers to the non … presence of heteroscedasticity may cast doubt on the proposed model if the noise from Xt is big; otherwise, it is no cause for … concern. If the model is a good model, the existence of heteroscedasticity among the independent variable would not vitiate …

Least absolute deviations (LAD) estimation of linear time-series models is considered under conditional heteroskedasticity and serial correlation. The limit theory of the LAD estimator is obtained without assuming the finite density condition for the errors that is required in standard LAD...
