Description This paper discusses some issues related to the use of the Lagrange multiplier, likelihood ratio and Wald tests in econometrics. In particular, the paper focuses on three issues: (i) the Wald test with nonlinear constraints; (ii) conflict among criteria and size correction; and (iii) the derivation of an improved LM statistic. Some Monte Carlo simulation results illustrate the discussion.
O presente artigo discute alguns aspectos relacionados ao uso dos testes multiplicador de Lagrange, razão de verossimilhança e Wald em econometria. Em particular, o artigo se concentra em três tópicos: (i) o teste Wald com restrições não-lineares; (ii) conflito entre critérios e correção de tamanho e (iii) derivação de uma estatística LM melhorada. Resultados de simulação de Monte Carlo ilustram a discussão.
