  • 演講摘要 : An economic model is often estimated by using complex survey data. The estimated model is then sometimes used to analyze phenomena in a subpopulation, which is often a stratum in the complex survey design or a union of strata. The validity of such subpopulation-specific analysis hinges on correctness of the model in each of the strata. We propose an implementation of "m-testing" for checking the correct specification in each stratum. We study the behavior of the proposed test via asymptotic analysis.
