THE CHOICE BETWEEN SETS OF REGRESSORS

J. Sargan

Econometric Reviews, 2001, vol. 20, issue 2, 171-186

Abstract: This paper examines the choice of critical values for testing both non-sequential and nested sequential sets of constraints in the standard linear regression model. Modest increases in (e.g.) t-ratio critical values relative to their one-off values are often sufficient to maintain proper size. A Bayesian decision-theoretic approach, highlighted by the Schwarz (1978) criterion, provides a framework for deriving consistency and asymptotic local power properties of both forms of testing (data mining) algorithms.
