German term or phrase: Fehlspezifikationstest
Referring to a gravity model analysing competitiveness:

Sofern lediglich ein Teil der zeitunveränderlichen Variablen endogen ist, kann alternativ der Hausman-Taylor (1981)-Schätzer verwendet werden, bei dem ausgewählte erklärende Variablen als endogene Instrumente eingesetzt werden. Obwohl ein Hausman-Taylor-Test für die Auswahl der Instrumentenvariablen dienen kann, bleibt die Bestimmung der strikt exogenen Variablen nicht einfach, da dieser Fehlspezifikationstest auf strengen Annahmen beruht

misspecification test


Explanation:
Not my area at all (hence the 3), but I found this by Googling.

Example sentence(s):
  • We also propose a quasi-Hausman test of misspecification based on the difference between the GMM and ML estimators.
  • The Hausman test is a specification test, so a large test statistic might be indication that there might be Errors in Variables (EIV) or our model is misspecified.
