Asymptotic Properties of Instrumental Variables Statistics for Testing Non-Nested Hypotheses
用于非嵌套假设检验的工具变量统计量的渐近性质
This paper develops Instrumental Variables statistics for testing non-nested hypotheses when the hypotheses considered are single equations from a system of linear dynamic simultaneous equations. Asymptotic distributions of those statistics and of comparable Maximum Likelihood statistics are derived under the null hypothesis, a local non-nested alternative hypothesis, and a local "comprehensive" alternative hypothesis. The asymptotic powers of the non-nested hypothesis tests…
