Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
We propose Vuong-type tests to select between two moment inequality models based on their Kullback-Leibler distances to the true data distribution. The candidate models can be either non-overlapping or overlapping. For each case, we develop a testing procedure that has correct asymptotic size in a uniform sense despite the potential lack of point identification. We show both procedures are consistent against fixed alternatives and local alternatives converging to the null at rates arbitrarily close to n(-1/2). We demonstrate the finite-sample performance of the tests with Monte Carlo simulation of a missing data example. The tests are relatively easy to implement. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
