SIEVE WALD AND QLR INFERENCES ON SEMI/NONPARAMETRIC CONDITIONAL MOMENT MODELS By
This paper considers inference on functionals of semi/nonparametric conditional moment restrictions with possibly nonsmooth generalized residuals, which include all of the (nonlinear) nonparametric instrumental variables (IV) as special cases. For these models it is often difficult to verify whether a functional is regular (i.e., root-n estimable) or irregular (i.e., slower than root-n estimabl...
متن کاملSIEVE QUASI LIKELIHOOD RATIO INFERENCE ON SEMI/NONPARAMETRIC CONDITIONAL MOMENT MODELS By
This paper considers inference on functionals of semi/nonparametric conditional moment restrictions with possibly nonsmooth generalized residuals. These models belong to the difficult (nonlinear) ill-posed inverse problems with unknown operators, and include all of the (nonlinear) nonparametric instrumental variables (IV) as special cases. For these models it is generally difficult to verify wh...
متن کاملSieve-based Empirical Likelihood under Semiparametric Conditional Moment Restrictions
In this paper we propose a new Sieve-based Locally Weighted Conditional Empirical Likelihood (SLWCEL) estimator for models of conditional moment restrictions containing nite dimensional unknown parameters and in nite dimensional unknown functions h. The SLWCEL is a one-step information-theoretic alternative to the Sieve Minimum Distance estimator analyzed by Ai and Chen (2003). We approximate ...
متن کاملMETHODS FOR NONPARAMETRIC AND SEMIPARAMETRIC REGRESSIONS WITH ENDOGENEITY: A GENTLE GUIDE By
This paper reviews recent advances in estimation and inference for nonparametric and semiparametric models with endogeneity. It first describes methods of sieves and penalization for estimating unknown functions identified via conditional moment restrictions. Examples include nonparametric instrumental variables regression (NPIV), nonparametric quantile IV regression and many more semi-nonparam...
متن کاملConditional Moment Models under Weak Identification
We consider models defined by a set of conditional moment restrictions where weak identification may arise. Weak identification is directly defined through the conditional moments that are allowed to flatten as the sample size increases. We propose a minimum distance estimator of the structural parameters that is robust to potential weak identification and that uses neither instrumental variabl...
