Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This paper considers the problem of consistent model specification tests using series estimation methods. The null models we consider in this paper all contain some nonparametric components. A leading case we consider is to test for an additive partially linear model. The null distribution of the test statistic is derived using a central limit theorem for Hilbert-valued random arrays. The test statistic is shown to be able to detect local alternatives that approach the null models at the order of O-p(n(-1/2)). We show that the wild bootstrap method can be used to approximate the null distribution of the test statistic. A small Monte Carlo simulation is reported to examine the finite sample performance of the proposed test. We also show that the proposed test can be easily modified to obtain series-based consistent tests for other semiparametric/nonparametric models. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
