A Simple Representation of the Bera-Jarque-Lee Test for Probit Models

No 13/2007, IWH Discussion Papers from Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH)

Abstract: The inference in probit models relies on the assumption of normality. However, tests of this assumption are not implemented in standard econometric software. Therefore, the paper presents a simple representation of the Bera-Jarque-Lee test, that does not require any matrix algebra. Furthermore, the representation is used to compare the Bera-Jarque- Lee test with the RESET-type test proposed by Papke and Wooldridge (1996).
