Estimation of semiparametric models when the criterion function is not smooth
We provide easy to verify sufficient conditions for the consistency and asymptotic normality of a class of semiparametric optimization estimators where the criterion function does not obey standard smoothness conditions and simultaneously depends on some preliminary nonparametric estimators. Our results extend existing theories like those of Pakes and Pollard (1989), Andrews (1994a), and Newey ...
متن کاملSemiparametric estimation of duration models
This paper proposes a semiparametric method for estimating duration models when there are inequality constraints on some parameters and the error distribution may be unknown. Thus, the setting considered here is particularly suitable for practical applications. The parameters in duration models are usually estimated by a quasi-MLE. Recent advances show that a semiparametrically efficient estima...
متن کاملSemiparametric estimation of duration models when the parameters are subject to inequality constraints and the error distribution is unknown
The parameters in duration models are usually estimated by a Quasi Maximum Likelihood Estimator [QMLE]. This estimator is efficient if the errors are iid and exponentially distributed. Otherwise, it may not be the most efficient. Motivated by this, a class of estimators has been introduced by Drost and Werker (2004). Their estimator is asymptotically most efficient when the error distribution i...
متن کاملSemiparametric Estimation of Locally Stationary Diffusion Models
This paper proposes a class of locally stationary diffusion processes. The model has a time varying but locally linear drift and a volatility coefficient that is allowed to vary over time and space. We propose estimators of all the unknown quantities based on long span data. Our estimation method makes use of the local stationarity. We establish asymptotic theory for the proposed estimators as ...
متن کاملSemiparametric Estimation of Long-memory Models
This article revises semiparametric methods of inference on different aspects of long memory time series. The main focus is on estimation of the memory parameter of linear models, analyzing bandwidth choice, bias reduction techniques and robustness properties of different estimates, with some emphasis on nonstationarity and trending behaviors. These techniques extend naturally to multivariate s...
