Inference In Moment Inequality Models That Is Robust To Spurious Precision Under Model Misspecification, Donald W.K. Andrews, Soonwoo Kwon
Inference In Moment Inequality Models That Is Robust To Spurious Precision Under Model Misspecification, Donald W.K. Andrews, Soonwoo Kwon
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
Standard tests and confidence sets in the moment inequality literature are not robust to model misspecification in the sense that they exhibit spurious precision when the identified set is empty. This paper introduces tests and confidence sets that provide correct asymptotic inference for a pseudo-true parameter in such scenarios, and hence, do not suffer from spurious precision.

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
This paper is concerned with possible model misspecification in moment inequality models. Two issues are addressed. First, standard tests and confidence sets for the true parameter in the moment inequality literature are not robust to model misspecification in the sense that they exhibit spurious precision when the identified set is empty. This paper introduces tests and confidence sets that provide correct asymptotic inference for a pseudo-true parameter in such scenarios, and hence, do not suffer from spurious precision. Second, specification tests have relatively low power against a range of misspecified models. Thus, failure to reject the null of correct specification …
