报告摘要: In this paper we propose a specification test for parametric quantile regression models versus semiparametric alternatives over a continuum of quantile levels. The test statistics are constructed as continuous functionals of a residual marked empirical process similar to Escanciano and Goh (2014). We show that the use of an orthogonal projection on the tangent space of nuisance parameters at each quantile index delivers unified asymptotic theory for tests with different estimators under the null, and also facilitates the simulation of critical values by means of a multiplier bootstrap procedure. Consistency of the tests against fixed alternatives and asymptotic power under a sequence of local alternatives converging to the null at the parametric rate are also discussed.
