摘要:We provide a test for the speci¯cation of a structural model without identifying
assumptions. We show the equivalence of several natural formulations of correct spec-
i¯cation, which we take as our null hypothesis. From a natural empirical version of
the latter, we derive a Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic for Choquet capacity function-
als, which we use to construct our test. We derive the limiting distribution of our test
statistic under the null, and show that our test is consistent against certain classes of
alternatives. When the model is given in parametric form, the test can be inverted
to yield con¯dence regions for the identi¯ed parameter set. The approach can be
applied to the estimation of models with sample selection, censored observables and
to games with multiple equilibria.
