Abstract
This article proposes a new general methodology for constructing nonparametric and semiparametric Asymptotically Distribution-Free (ADF) tests for semiparametric hypotheses in regression models for possibly dependent data coming from a strictly stationary process. Classical tests based on the difference between the estimated distributions of the restricted and unrestricted regression errors are not ADF. In this article, we introduce a novel transformation of this difference that leads to ADF tests with well-known critical values. The general methodology is illustrated with applications to testing for parametric models against nonparametric or semiparametric alternatives, and semiparametric constrained mean-variance models. Several Monte Carlo studies and an empirical application show that the finite sample performance of the proposed tests is satisfactory in moderate sample sizes.
