This paper shows a simple method of approximating the exact distribution of the Durbin-Watson Test Statistic for first-order autocorrelation in a nonlinear model. The proposed Approximate Nonlinear Durbin-Watson (A.N.D.) test has good size and power when compared to alternatives.

The majority of college students experience financial stress, but not all experience it with the same frequency or intensity. Research suggests Black students experience a greater intensity of financial stress than their White peers do. This study revealed a link between perception of relative consumption and financial stress among 965 Black students at 52 predominantly White colleges and universities in the United States. The relative income hypothesis (RIH) literature offers potential mediators of financial stress. The findings have implications for families, college students, therapists, financial educators, and school administrators.
