Abstract

The m-testing approach provides a general and convenient framework in which to view and construct specification tests for econometric models. Previous m-testing frameworks only consider test statistics that involve finite dimensional parameter estimators and infinite dimensional parameter estimators affecting the limit distribution of the m-test statistics. In this paper we propose a new m-testing framework using both finite and infinite dimensional parameter estimators, where the latter may or may not affect the limit distribution of the m-test. This greatly extends the potential and flexibility of m-testing. The new m-testing framework can be used to test hypotheses on parametric, semiparametric and nonparametric models. Some examples are given to illustrate how to use it to develop new specification tests
