RESUMO

The chief goal of this thesis is to study the finite-sample behavior of different heteroskedasticity- consistent covariance matrix estimators, under both constant and unequal error variances. We consider the estimator proposed by Halbert White (HC0), its variant known as HC3, and Wuâs (1986) weighted bootstrap estimator. Recently proposed estimators, such as CribariâNetoâs (2004) HC4 and CribariâNeto and Zarkosâs (2004) inversely adjusted weighted bootstrap, are also considered. We propose a new covariance matrix estimator: HC5. It is the first consistent estimator to explicitly take into account the effect that the maximum level of leverage of the data has on the associated inference. Our numerical (Monte Carlo) results show that quasi-t inference based on HC5 is typically more reliable than inference based on other covariance matrix estimators. We also present four applications to real data
