TESTING FOR STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AUXILIARY MODELS
研究了在存在辅助模型的情况下，如何检验结构变化，提出了多种检验方法并推导了其渐近分布理论，适用于使用EMM或间接推断等两步估计法的实证研究。
Several estimation procedures such as the efficient method of moments (EMM) of Gallant and Tauchen (1996, Econometric Theory 12, 657–681) and indirect inference procedure of Gouriéroux, Monfort, and Renault (1993, Journal of Applied Econometrics 8, S85–S118) involve two models, an auxiliary one and a model of interest. The role played by both models poses challenges and provides new opportunities for hypothesis testing beyond the usual Wald-, Lagrange multiplier–, and likelihood ratio–type tests. In this paper we present and derive the asymptotic distribution theory for various classes of tests for structural change. Some procedures are extensions of standard tests, whereas others are specific to the dual model setup and exploit its unique features.The first author gratefully acknowledges financial support from Fonds pour la Formation de Chercheurs et l'aide à la Recherche (FCAR).
