Title: Testing Inequalities Linear in Nuisance Parameters (with Gregory Cox and Yuya Shimizu) at the econometrics seminar.
Abstract- This paper proposes a new test for inequalities that are linear in possibly partially
identified nuisance parameters, called the generalized conditional chi-squared (GCC)
test. It extends the subvector conditional chi-squared (sCC) test in Cox and Shi (2023,
CS23) to a setting where the nuisance parameter is pre-multiplied by an unknown
and estimable matrix of coefficients. Properly accounting for the estimation noise in
this matrix while maintaining the simplicity of the sCC test is the main innovation
of this paper. [How? New variance formula? Rank condition?] As such, the paper
provides a simple solution to a broad set of problems including subvector inference for
models represented by linear programs, nonparametric instrumental variable models
with discrete regressor and instruments, and linear unconditional moment inequality
models. We also derive a simplified formula for computing the critical value that makes
the computation of the GCC test elementary.
