Abstract: This paper reviews the literature on Bartlett and Bartlett-type corrections. It focuses on the corrections to the likelihood ratio, score and Wald test statistics. Three different Bartlett-type corrections which are equivalent to order 1/n, n being the sample size, are compared through simulation. One of the forms displayed superior behavior both in terms of size and power. We also use Monte Carlo simulation to examine the effect of independent variables and the impact of the number of nuisance parameters on the finite-sample behavior of some asymptotic econometric criteria in regression models.
