Consistent tests of conditional moment restrictions [PDF]
We propose two classes of consistent tests in parametric econometric models defined through multiple conditional moment restrictions. The first type of tests relies on nonparametric estimation, while the second relies on a functional of a marked ...

Bootstrap Testing of the Rank of a Matrix via Least Squared Constrained Estimation [PDF]
In order to test if an unknown matrix has a given rank (null hypothesis), we consider the family of statistics that are minimum squared distances between an estimator and the manifold of fixed-rank matrix.
