Generalized Method of Moments
This entry describes the basic framework for statistical estimation and inference using Generalized Method of Moments and also illustrates the types of empirical models in finance to which these techniques have been applied. GeneralizedMethod of Moments (GMM) provides a computationally convenientmethod of obtaining consistent and asymptotically normally distributed estimators of the parameters ...
متن کاملStochastic Generalized Method of Moments.
The generalized method of moments (GMM) is a very popular estimation and inference procedure based on moment conditions. When likelihood-based methods are difficult to implement, one can often derive various moment conditions and construct the GMM objective function. However, minimization of the objective function in the GMM may be challenging, especially over a large parameter space. Due to th...
متن کاملGeneralized Method of Moments Estimation
2. In practice, researchers find it useful that GMM estimators can be constructed without specifying the full data generating process (which would be required to write down the maximum likelihood estimator.) This has been the case in the study of single equations in a simultaneous system, in the study of potentially misspecified dynamic models designed to match target moments, and in the constr...
متن کاملAdversarial Generalized Method of Moments
We provide an approach for learning deep neural net representations of models described via conditional moment restrictions. Conditional moment restrictions are widely used, as they are the language by which social scientists describe the assumptions they make to enable causal inference. We formulate the problem of estimating the underling model as a zero-sum game between a modeler and an adver...
متن کاملApplications of Generalized Method of Moments Estimation
T he method of moments approach to parameter estimation dates back more than 100 years (Stigler, 1986). The notion of a moment is fundamental for describing features of a population. For example, the population mean (or population average), usually denoted m, is the moment that measures central tendency. If y is a random variable describing the population of interest, we also write the populati...
