Optimal Decision Rules for Weak GMM

چکیده
This paper studies optimal decision rules, including estimators and tests, for weakly identified GMM models. We derive the limit experiment GMM, propose a theoretically?motivated class of priors which give rise to quasi?Bayes rules as limiting case. Together with results in previous literature, this establishes desirable properties approach regardless model identification status, we recommend settings where is concern. further weighted average power?optimal identification?robust frequentist tests confidence sets, prove Bernstein?von Mises?type result posterior under weak identification.

Optimal Decision Rules for Product Recalls
We consider a hypothetical company that is assumed to have just manufactured and sold a number of copies of a product. It is known that, with a small probability, the company has committed a manufacturing fault that will require a recall. The company is able to observe the expiration times of the sold items whose distribution depends on whether the fault is present or absent. At the expiration ...
متن کاملGMM, Weak Instruments, and Weak Identification
Weak instruments arise when the instruments in linear IV regression are weakly correlated with the included endogenous variables. In nonlinear GMM, weak instruments correspond to weak identification of some or all of the unknown parameters. Weak identification leads to non-normal distributions, even in large samples, so that conventional IV or GMM inferences are misleading. Fortunately, various...
متن کاملOptimal sequential procedures with Bayes decision rules
In this article, a general problem of sequential statistical inference for general discrete-time stochastic processes is considered. The problem is to minimize an average sample number given that Bayesian risk due to incorrect decision does not exceed some given bound. We characterize the form of optimal sequential stopping rules in this problem. In particular, we have a characterization of the...
متن کاملOptimal Decision Fusion Given Sensor Rules
Abstract—Optimal distributed fusion assuming that sensor decision rules are given is considered. A general and computationally tractable optimal fusion rule is presented, which relies only on the joint conditional probability densities of all sensor observations and all local decision rules. It is valid for general decision systems with any sensor observations and sensor decision rules, regardl...
