TESTING NORMALITY IN ECONOMETRIC MODELS

Nicholas Kiefer () and Mark Salmon

No 269159, Economic Research Papers from University of Warwick - Department of Economics

Abstract: A specification test based on an Edgeworth expansior is proposed and some of its useful properties are noted. In particular the test has an important additivity property, in that a test for higher-order alternatives simply adds additional, asymptotically independent X2 variates to tests against lower order alternatives.
