Testing moment inequalities: Selection versus recentering

Author

Listed:
  • Allen, Roy

Abstract

This paper provides a finite-sample comparison of two existing tests of moment inequalities. We show the “two-step” recentering approach of Romano et al. (2014) rejects whenever a moment selection approach of Chernozukov et al. (2014) rejects.
