چکیده
This paper considers the estimation problem in dynamic games with finite actions. We derive the equation system that characterizes the Markovian equilibria. The equilibrium equation system enables us to characterize conditions for identification. We consider a class of asymptotic least squares estimators defined by the equilibrium conditions. This class provides a unified framework for a number of wellknown estimators including those by Hotz and Miller (1993) and by Aguirregabiria and Mira (2002). We show that these estimators differ in the weight they assign to individual equilibrium conditions. We derive the efficient weight matrix. A Monte Carlo study illustrates the small sample performance and computational feasibility of alternative estimators.

متن کاملOn the Estimation and Inference of a Cointegrated Regression in Panel Data
In this paper, we study the asymptotic distributions for least-squares (OLS), fully modi ed (FM), and dynamic OLS (DOLS) estimators in cointegrated regression models in panel data. We show that the OLS, FM, and DOLS estimators are all asymptotically normally distributed. However, the asymptotic distribution of the OLS estimator is shown to have a non-zero mean. Monte Carlo results examine the s...
متن کاملEstimation in ARMA models based on signed ranks
In this paper we develop an asymptotic theory for estimation based on signed ranks in the ARMA model when the innovation density is symmetrical. We provide two classes of estimators and we establish their asymptotic normality with the help of the asymptotic properties for serial signed rank statistics. Finally, we compare our procedure to the one of least-squares, and we illustrate the performa...
متن کاملUSING SUBSPACE METHODS FOR ESTIMATING ARMA MODELS FOR MULTIVARIATE TIME SERIES WITH CONDITIONALLY HETEROSKEDASTIC INNOVATIONS By
This paper deals with the estimation of linear dynamic models of the ARMA type for the conditional mean for time series with conditionally heteroskedastic innovation process widely used in modelling financial time series. Estimation is performed using subspace methods which are known to have computational advantages as compared to prediction error methods based on criterion minimization. These ...
متن کاملParameter Estimation of Chirp Signals in Presence of Stationary Noise
Abstract. The problem of parameter estimation of the chirp signals in presence of stationary noise has been addressed. We consider the least squares estimators and it is observed that the least squares estimators are strongly consistent. The asymptotic distributions of the least squares estimators are obtained. The multiple chirp signal model is also considered and we obtain the asymptotic prop...
