Implementing an Improved Test of Matrix Rank in Stata

Papers from arXiv.org

Abstract: We develop a Stata command, bootranktest, for implementing the matrix rank test of Chen and Fang (2019) in linear instrumental variable regression models. Existing rank tests employ critical values that may be too small, and hence may not even be first order valid in the sense that they may fail to control the Type I error. By appealing to the bootstrap, they devise a test that overcomes the deficiency of existing tests. The command bootranktest implements the two-step version of their test, and also the analytic version if chosen. The command also accommodates data with temporal and cluster dependence.
