Bilinear form test statistics for extremum estimation

Econometrics 2021-08-10 v1

Abstract

This paper develops a set of test statistics based on bilinear forms in the context of the extremum estimation framework with particular interest in nonlinear hypothesis. We show that the proposed statistic converges to a conventional chi-square limit. A Monte Carlo experiment suggests that the test statistic works well in finite samples.
