# A Simple Heteroskedasticity and Nonnormality Robust F-Test Statistic for Individual Eects

03/2007;

ABSTRACT

This paper employs …rst order asymptotic theory in order to es- tablish the asymptotic distribution of the F-test statistic for individ- ual eects, under non-normality and possible heteroskedasticity of the errors, when N ! 1 (the number of cross-sections) and T is …xed (the number of time periods). Whilst asymptotically valid under ho- moskedasticity, the usual F-test and random eects test procedures will be asymptotically over-sized under heteroskedasticity. Both, however, be easily re-scaled to provide an asymptotically valid test procedures which exhibit the same relative power properties as those described in Orme and Yamagata (2006).

ABSTRACT: It is argued that the two approaches that have been suggested for improving the behaviour of heteroskedasticity-robust quasi-t tests must be combined to achieve reliability in the case of joint tests: neither is by itself sufficient.

##### Article: Heteroskedasticity-Robust Tests in Regression Directions
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We develop simple procedures to test for omitted variables and perform other tests in regression directions, which are asymptotically valid in the presence of heteroskedasticity of unknown form. We examine the asymptotic behaviour of these tests, and use Edgeworth approximations to study their approximate finite-sample performance. We also present results from several Monte Carlo experiments, which suggest that one family of these tests should always be used in preference to the other.
