Testing the Information Matrix Equality with Robust Estimators



where expectations are with respect to F^. From (21),

Now, expanding the integrands around βn = 0, σn = 1, and γn = 0 gives

ψ Zzβn = ψ(Z) + ψ/(Z) (n - Z(σn - 1)) + o(βn, σn - 1)    (24)

and so (23)

Jo

Since Eφ [ψ(Z)] = Eφ [Zψ'(Z)] = 0, it follows that βn = γnΣ2 + o(γn), with

ς = ∕o (z)dφ(z)

2 E [Ψ(Z)]

For σn it holds that

dΦ(z).    (26)


Since (24) and (25) also hold with pc replacing ψ, (26) becomes

bc = eΦ [pc(z)] - βneΦ [pc(z)] - (σn

■ 1)Eφ [zp'c(Z)]

+Yn / Zpc(Z)dΦ(Z) + O(βnn-
Jo

Now Eφ [pc(Z)] = bc, Eφ [p'c(Z)] = 0 and Jzp'c(z)dΦ(z) = ɪEφ [Zpc(Z)],
so we get

σn = 1 + ɪ- + o ( γn ).
