This paper considers the problem of testing statistical hypothesis in nonlinear regression models with inequality constraints on the parameters. First, the Kuhn-Tucker test procedure is defined. Next, it is shown that the distribution of the Kuhn-Tucker, the likelihood ratio and the Wald test statistics converges to the same mixture of chi-square distributions under the null hypothesis. To illustrate these results two examples are considered: (1) the problem of testing that individual effects are missing in an error component model, and (2) the problem of testing equilibrium for a model of markets in disequilibrium
