Tests Of Independence In Separable Econometric Models, Donald J. Brown, Marten H. Wegkamp Jan 2003

Tests Of Independence In Separable Econometric Models, Donald J. Brown, Marten H. Wegkamp

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A common stochastic restriction in econometric models separable in the latent variablesis the assumption of stochastic independence between the unobserved and observed exogenous variables. Both simple and composite tests of this assumption are derived from properties of independence empirical processes and the consistency of these tests is established

A common stochastic restriction in econometric models separable in the latent variables is the assumption of stochastic independence between the unobserved and observed exogenous variables. Both simple and composite tests of this assumption are derived from properties of independence empirical processes and the consistency of these tests is established. As an application, we simulate estimation of a random quasilinear utility function, where we apply our tests of independence.
