摘要
En 中文
We propose a simple consistent test for a, parametric regression functional form based on k-nearest-neighbor (k-nn) method. We derive the null distribution of the test statistic and show that the test achieves the minimax rate optimality against smooth alternatives. A wild bootstrap method is used to better approximate the null distribution of the test statistic. We also propose a k-nn statistic which tests for omitted variables nonparametrically. Simulations and an empirical application using US economics new Ph.D. job market matching data show that the k-nn method is more appropriate than the kernel method to analyze unevenly distributed data.
