Kernel Weighted GMM Estimators for Linear Time Series Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes the higher order asymptotic properties of Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimators for linear time series models using many lags as instruments. A data dependent moment selection method based on minimizing the approximate mean squared error is developed. In addition, a new version of the GMM estimator based on kernel weighted moment conditions is proposed. It is shown that kernel weighted GMM can reduce the asymptotic bias compared to standard GMM. Kernel weighting also helps to simplify the problem of selecting the optimal number of instruments. A feasible procedure similar to optimal bandwidth selection is proposed for the kernel weighted GMM estimator.

Efficient Prediction for Linear and Nonlinear Autoregressive Models
Conditional expectations given past observations in stationary time series are usually estimated directly by kernel estimators, or by plugging in kernel estimators for transition densities. We show that, for linear and nonlinear autoregressive models driven by independent innovations, appropriate smoothed and weighted von Mises statistics of residuals estimate conditional expectations at better...
متن کاملDiscrimination of time series based on kernel method
Classical methods in discrimination such as linear and quadratic do not have good efficiency in the case of nongaussian or nonlinear time series data. In nonparametric kernel discrimination in which the kernel estimators of likelihood functions are used instead of their real values has been shown to have good performance. The misclassification rate of kernel discrimination is usually less than ...
متن کاملBootstrapping GMM estimators for time series
This paper considers the bootstrap for the GMM estimator of overidentified linear models when autocorrelation structures of moment functions are unknown. When moment functions are uncorrelated after finite lags, Hall and Horowitz, [1996. Bootstrap critical values for tests based on generalized method of moments estimators. Econometrica 64, 891–916] showed that errors in the rejection probabilit...
متن کاملA Computational Implementation of GMM
In this paper we study a statistical method of implementing quasi-Bayes estimators for nonlinear and nonseparable GMM models, that is motivated by the ideas proposed in Chernozhukov and Hong (2003) and Creel and Kristensen (2011) and that combines simulation with nonparametric regression in the computation of GMM models. We provide formal conditions under which frequentist inference is asymptot...
متن کاملA quasi-di!erencing approach to dynamic modelling from a time series of independent cross-sections
We motivate and describe a GMM method of estimating linear dynamic models from a time series of independent cross-sections. This involves subjecting the model to a quasi-di!erencing transformation across pairs of individuals that belong to the same group. Desirable features of the model include the fact that: (i) no aggregation is involved, (ii) dynamic response parameters can vary across group...
