A Consistent Heteroskedasticity‐Robust LM‐Type Specification Test for Semiparametric Models

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article develops a heteroskedasticity‐robust Lagrange Multiplier‐type specification test for semiparametric regression models. The test is able to detect a wide class of deviations from the null hypothesis. The test statistic is based on the estimates from the restricted semiparametric model, can be computed in a regression‐based way, and

Heterotic Models of Aggregate Demand [PDF]

A common theme in the theory of demand aggregation is that market demand can acquire properties which are not always individually present among the agents who make up that market, a phenomenon we call heterosis in this paper.
