A Note on Specification Testing in Some Structural Regression Models

Author

Listed:
  • Walter Beckert

Abstract

There exists a useful framework for jointly implementing Durbin–Wu–Hausman exogeneity and Sargan–Hansen overidentification tests, as a single artificial regression. This note sets out the framework for linear models and discusses its extension to nonlinear models. It also provides an empirical example and some Monte Carlo results.
