While optimally weighted GMM estimation has desirable large sample properties, its small
sample performance is poor in some applications. We propose a computationally simple
alternative, for weakly dependent data generating mechanisms, based on minimization of ...

Abstract This paper studies the method of empirical likelihood in models with weakly
dependent processes. In such cases, if the likelihood function is formulated as if the data
process were independent, obviously empirical likelihood fails. We propose to use ...

This paper proposes an asymptotically efficient method for estimating models with
conditional moment restrictions. Our estimator generalizes the maximum empirical likelihood
estimator (MELE) of Qin and Lawless (1994). Using a kernel smoothing method, we ...

Abstract: Recent developments in empirical likelihood (EL) methods are reviewed. First, to
put the method in perspective, two interpretations of empirical likelihood are presented, one
as a nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method (NPMLE) and the other as a ...

Economic theory often provides testable implications in the form of moment restrictions.
Hansen (1982) proposed a computationally simple test of moment restrictions based on
Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). This test, often referred to as the overidentifying ...

This paper develops a general theory of instrumental variables (IV) estimation that allows for
both I (1) and I (0) regressors and instruments. The main goal of this paper is to develop a
theory in which one does not need to know the integration properties of the regressors in ...

The concept of entropy has a long and distinguished history in the physical sciences and
engineering, in fields ranging from thermodynamics to image processing. Each of these
applications employs a probability distribution that solves a relative entropy projection ...

Abstract This paper considers the properties of systems likelihood procedures for
cointegrated systems when the I (2) variables are present. Two alternative methods are
proposed: one is based on the full system likelihood, whereas another is based on the ...

Racial differences in wage rates are important measures of economic inequality among
races because, for almost all individuals, labor income constitutes the most important

Abstract: This paper considers random coefficients binary choice models. The main goal is
to estimate the density of the random coefficients nonparametrically. This is an ill-posed
inverse problem characterized by an integral transform. A new density estimator for the ...

This chapter studies some problems concerning two commonly used instrumental variable
(IV)-based misspecification tests in linear models. One is Sargan's (1958, 1959) test of
overidentifying restrictions, and the other is the Durbin-Hausman-Wu test based on the ...

Abstract: Mixtures of distributions are present in many econometric models, such as models
with unobserved heterogeneity. It is thus crucial to have a general approach to identify them
nonparametrically. Yet the literature so far only contains isolated examples, applied to ...

Abstract. This paper studies asymptotically optimal estimation and testing procedures for
moment condition models using the theory of large deviations (LD). Minimax risk estimation
and testing are discussed in details. The aim of the paper is three-fold. First, it studies a ...

Nonparametric likelihood is a natural generalization of parametric likelihood and it offers
effective methods for analysing economic models with nonparametric components. This is of
great interest, since econometric theory rarely suggests a parametric form of the ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with robust estimation under moment restrictions. A
moment restriction model is semiparametric and distribution-free, therefore it imposes mild
assumptions. Yet it is reasonable to expect that the probability law of observations may ...

The idea of using out0of0sample prediction for model evaluation is not new. Many

We show by example that empirical likelihood and other commonly used tests for moment
restrictions are unable to control the (exponential) rate at which the probability of a Type I
error tends to zero unless the possible distributions for the observed data are restricted ...

measurement errors or other data contamination problems, the validity of conventional ...
