Hypothesis Testing in Semiparametric and Nonparametric Models for Econometric Time Series
A restriction on a semiparametric or nonparametric econometric time series model determines the value of a finite-dimensional functional τ of an infinite-dimensional nuisance function. The estimate of τ and its estimated covariance matrix use nonparametric probability and spectral density estimation. A consequent test of the restriction is given approximate large sample justification under absolute regularity on the time series and other conditions. The methodology relates…
