On the Choice of Test Statistic for Conditional Moment Inequalities
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper derives asymptotic approximations to the power of Cramer-von Mises (CvM) style tests for inference on a finite dimensional parameter defined by conditional moment inequalities in the case where the parameter is set identified. Combined with power results for Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests, these results can be used to choose the optimal test statistic, weighting function and, for tests based on kernel estimates, kernel bandwidth. The results show that, in the setting considered here, KS tests are preferred to CvM tests, and that a truncated variance weighting is preferred to bounded weightings.

This paper develops methods of inference for nonparametric and semiparametric parameters de ned by conditional moment inequalities and/or equalities. The parameters need not be identi ed. Con dence sets and tests are introduced. The correct uniform asymptotic size of these procedures is established. The false coverage probabilities and power of the CSs and tests are established for xed altern...

متن کاملStata Commands for Testing Conditional Moment Inequalities/Equalities
In this paper, we present two commands – cmi test and cmi interval – to implement the testing and inference methods for conditional moment inequalities/equalities models proposed in Andrews and Shi (2013). The command cmi test tests the validity of a finite number of conditional moment equalities and/or inequalities. This test returns the value of the test statistic, the critical values at sign...
