A UinriEI) THEORY OF COKSISTEHT ESTIMATION FOE PAEAMETRIC MODELS

Ve present a general theory of consistent estimation for possibly misspecified parametric models based on recent results of Domowitz and White [17]. This theory extends the iinification of Burguete, Gallant and Souza [12] by allowing for heterogeneous, time dependent data and d3mamic models. The theory is applied to yield consistency results for quasi-maximum likelihood and method of moments es...

Emission Ratios for Ammonia and Formic Acid and Observations of Peroxy Acetyl Nitrate (PAN) and Ethylene in Biomass Burning Smoke as Seen by the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES)

We use the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) aboard the NASA Aura satellite to determine the concentrations of the trace gases ammonia (NH3) and formic acid (HCOOH) within boreal biomass burning plumes, and present the first detection of peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN) and ethylene (C2H4) by TES. We focus on two fresh Canadian plumes observed by TES in the summer of 2008 as part of the Arcti...

In this chapter we present a unified theory of specification testing that applies to a broad range of the data, model, and estimator configurations likely to be met in econometric practice. The abstract results are applied to obtain specification tests based on maximum-likelihood estimators for the parameters of dynamic models. We propose a dynamic information matrix test that should be useful ...
