Optimal Tests for Parameter Instability in the Generalized Method of Moments Framework
广义矩估计框架下参数不稳定性的最优检验
This paper presents optimal tests for parameter instability in the generalized method of moments (GMM) framework. The new tests include tests that are optimal for both one-sided and two-sided alternatives. One of the optimal tests for two-sided alternatives is the GMM generalization of the test presented in Andrews and Ploberger (1994) for the likelihood framework. The new tests include a class of optimal tests that direct the test's power to specific locations in the…
