When we want to test equality between sets of coefficients in two linear regressions, we use the tests by Chow (1960). These tests assume equality of disturbance variances between two sets of observations. Toyoda (1974); Schmidt and Sickles (1977); and Ohtani and Toyoda (1985) found that one of the above tests (the test in the case where both samples have sufficient numbers of. observations) may have a rather poor performance when disturbance variances of two samples are in fact heteroscedastic. Jayatissa (1977) and Watt (1979) proposed two alternative tests, neither of which assumes equality of disturbance variances between two samples. The test by Jayatissa has the advantage of being an exact test. But it has some disadvantages at the same time. 1 The test proposed by Watt is the Wald test and has the optimal asymptotic properties. However, little is known about its small sample behaviour. Monte Cario experiments inwattand in Honda (1982) revealed that the Wald test is preferable to the Jayatissa test when two sample sizes are moderate or larger. But no firm conclusions can be drawn when sample sizes are small. The problem of the Wald test is that the
