Abstract

Recent results of Cribari-Neto and Zarkos (1999) show that bootstrap methods can be successfully used to estimate a heteroskedasticity robust covariance matrix estimator. In this paper, we show that the wild bootstrap estimator can be calculated directly, without simulations, as it is just a more traditional estimator. Their experimental results seem to conflict with those of MacKinnon and White (1985); we reconcile these two results.
