GMM with many weak moment conditions

Newey, Whitney; Windmeijer, Frank - Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice (CEMMAP) - 2005

Using many moment conditions can improve efficiency but makes the usual GMM inferences inaccurate. Two step GMM is … Kleibergen (2005) K statistic is valid under these asymptotics. We also compare these results with a jackknife GMM estimator …

Local GEL methods for conditional moment restrictions

Smith, Richard - Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice (CEMMAP) - 2005

The principal purpose of this paper is to adapt to the conditional moment context the GEL unconditional moment methods described in Smith(1997, 2001) and Newey and Smith(2004). In particular we develop GEL estimators which achieve the semiparametric efficiency lower bound. The requisite GEL...

Efficient information theoretic inference for conditional moment restrictions

Smith, Richard - Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice (CEMMAP) - 2005

The generalized method of moments estimator may be substantially biased in finite samples, especially so when there are large numbers of unconditional moment conditions. This paper develops a class of first order equivalent semi-parametric efficient estimators and tests for conditional moment...
