Abstract

In this paper we are interested in inference based on heteroskedasticity consistent covariance matrix estimators, for which the appropriate bootstrap is a version of the wild bootstrap. Simulation results, obtained by a new very efficient methos, show that all wild bootstraps tests exhibit substantial size distortion if the error terms are skewed and strongly heteroskedastic.
