Empirical Likelihood Estimation of Conditional Moment Restriction Models with Unknown Functions

چکیده
This paper proposes an empirical likelihood-based estimation method for conditional moment restriction models with unknown functions, which include several semiparametric models. Our estimator is called the sieve conditional empirical likelihood (SCEL) estimator, which is based on the methods of conditional empirical likelihood and sieves. We derive (i) the consistency and a convergence rate of the SCEL estimator for the whole parameter, and (ii) the asymptotic normality and efficiency of the SCEL estimator for the parametric component. As an illustrating example, we consider a partially linear regression model with nonparametric endo-geneity and heteroskedasticity.

Empirical Likelihood - Based Inference in Conditional Moment Restriction Models
This paper proposes an asymptotically efficient method for estimating models with conditional moment restrictions. Our estimator generalizes the maximum empirical likelihood estimator (MELE) of Qin and Lawless (1994). Using a kernel smoothing method, we efficiently incorporate the information implied by the conditional moment restrictions into our empirical likelihood-based procedure. This yiel...

We propose non-nested hypotheses tests for conditional moment restriction models based on the method of generalized empirical likelihood (GEL). By utilizing the implied GEL probabilities from a sequence of unconditional moment restrictions that contains equivalent information of the conditional moment restrictions, we construct Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramér-von Mises type moment encompassing te...

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 کاملA Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Conditional Moment Restriction Models
This paper studies estimation of a conditional moment restriction model using the nonparametric maximum likelihood approach proposed by Gallant and Nychka (1987). Under some sufficient conditions, we show that the estimator of some finite dimensional parameters is asymptotically normally distributed and attains the semiparametric efficiency bound and that the estimator of the density function i...
