Title: Specification Tests for Dynamic Binary Response Models with State Dependence

Abstract:

This paper develops a specification test for a class of dynamic binary response models with state dependence in which true state dependence is distinguished from spurious state dependence. The test uses the property that if the models are correctly specified, the residuals follow a martingale difference sequence. One application of this test is to assess the validity of the over-identifying restrictions used to achieve identification.
