Abstract

Optimal critical values are derived for a pre‐test of an inequality restriction in a model where relevant regressors are unwittingly omitted. The criterion adopted is either that of the minimum average relative risk, or that of the mini‐max regret. The latter approach yields an optimal critical value which is sensitive to the degree of model mis‐specification, while the former criterion always leads to the choice of the unrestricted estimator.
