In this paper, I examine the properties of the class of generalized empirical likelihood estimators of moment-condition models. These nonparametric likelihood estimators satisfy exactly the moment conditions and automatically remove any bias due to a lack of centering. Moreover, the bias of the...

We discuss the identification and estimation of discrete games with complete information. Following Bresnahan and Reiss, a discrete game is defined to be a generalization of a standard discrete choice model in which utility depends on the actions of other players. Using recent algorithms that...

Fully specified DSGE models are increasingly successful in explaining observed macroeconomic data. Thinking about the specification of a certain equation in a DSGE approach has the drawback of imposing many implicit priors on the specification of the remaining equations. Mis-specifications in...

The Use of a Simple Decision Rule in Repeated Oligopoly Games Much interest has been directed towards decision rules and conditions when firms make decisions converging to a non-cooperative Nash equilibrium in repeated oligopoly games. We explore the use of a simple decision rule where firms...

This paper describes and analyses the use of the Filtered Historical Simulation algorithm in pricing spread options. Spread options are contracts whose payoff depends on the price difference (spread) between two or more underlying assets at a future date. Such kind of options are written in the...

The main problem in the combination of volatility forecasts is that the volatility cannot be directly observed and hence loss functions such as the MSFE cannot be directly used unless a suitable proxy of the conditional variance is defined. A common approach is to use the squared returns but...
