    Model Specification Tests Against Non-Nested Alternatives

    No full text
    Non-nested hypothesis tests provide a way to test the specification of an econometric model against the evidence provided by one or more non-nested alternatives. This paper surveys the recent literature on non-nested hypothesis testing in the context of regression and related models. Much of the purely statistical literature which has evolved from the fundamental work of Cox is discussed briefly or not at all. Instead, emphasis is placed on those techniques which are easy to employ in practice and are likely to be useful to applied workers.Cox test, nonnested hypotheses, J test, specification tests, nonnested hypothesis test

    Bootstrap Tests of Nonnested Linear Regression Models

    No full text
    The J test for nonnested regression models often works badly as an asymptotic test, but it generally works very well when bootstrapped. We provide a theoretical analysis of the J test which explains both of these phenomena. We also propose a modified version of the test which works even better than the ordinary J test when bootstrapped. Using our theoretical results to make simulation much faster, we obtain extremely accurate Monte Carlo results which demonstrate just how well the bootstrapped tests perform.J test, Nonnested hypothesis test, Bootstrap, Regression
