Abstract

The asymptotic performance of the bootstrap in linear regression models is studied. Edgeworth expansions show that asymptotically, the bootstrap is always at least as good as, and in some cases better than, the classical normal approximation. The performances of both the bootstrap and the normal approximation depend on the rate of increase in the elements of the design matrix.
