Bootstrap inference in econometrics
Open accessAbstract
The astonishing increase in computer performance over the past two decades has made it possible for economists to base many statistical inferences on simulated, or bootstrap, distributions rather than on distributions obtained from asymptotic theory. In this paper, I review some of the basic ideas of bootstrap inference. I discuss Monte Carlo tests, several types of bootstrap test, and bootstrap confidence intervals. Although bootstrapping often works well, it does not do so in every case. Inférence par la méthode d’auto–amorçage (bootstrap) en économétrie. L’incroyable accroissement dans la puissance des ordinateurs au cours des deux dernières décennies a permis aux économistes de fonder plusieurs inférences sur des distributions simulées, ou obtenues par auto–amorçage, plutôt que sur des distributions obtenues par la théorie aymptotique. Dans ce texte, l’auteur passe en revue quelques–unes des idées de base de l’inférence par la méthode d’auto–amorçage. Le texte discute aussi des tests de Monte Carlo, de divers types de tests et des intervalles de confiance obtenus par la méthode d’auto–amorçage. Même si le processus d’auto–amorçage fonctionne souvent bien, cela n’est pas toujours le cas.

“They can be seriously misleading even when the sample size is large if some of the reduced form equations for Y have little explanatory power; see Staiger and Stock (1997) , among many others.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
