John, I don't get your point. Consistency refers to the parameter estimate, efficiency refers to the variance of the estimate. The Hausman principle compares two estimators, both of which are consistent under the null but only one under the alternative. This is quite general.

I was wondering, though, if anyone is aware of literature showing that a Wald test could do too (which would be particularly useful in the case of models where the Hausman test can't be used in Stata); more specifically, the Wald test I am suggesting is to test whether the parameters (of interest) from the efficient estimator are significantly different from those of the consistent estimator. It would be very simply to do and could accommodate a large class of estimators. However, this test is only a constraint on the coefficient estimate/s from the efficient estimator and ignores the variance of estimates from the consistent estimator (thus I don't know to what extent this test would be useful). Any thoughts? Best, John. -- __________________________________________ Prof. John Antonakis Faculty of Business and Economics Department of Organizational Behavior University of Lausanne Internef #618 CH-1015 Lausanne-Dorigny Switzerland Tel ++41 (0)21 692-3438 Fax ++41 (0)21 692-3305 http://www.hec.unil.ch/people/jantonakis Associate Editor The Leadership Quarterly __________________________________________ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
