How Reliable are Bootstrap-based Heteroskedasticity Robust Tests?

Statistics Theory 2023-08-17 v2 Econometrics Methodology Statistics Theory

Abstract

We develop theoretical finite-sample results concerning the size of wild bootstrap-based heteroskedasticity robust tests in linear regression models. In particular, these results provide an efficient diagnostic check, which can be used to weed out tests that are unreliable for a given testing problem in the sense that they overreject substantially. This allows us to assess the reliability of a large variety of wild bootstrap-based tests in an extensive numerical study.
