In dynamic regression models the least-squares coefficient estimators are biased in finite samples, and so are the usual estimators for the disturbance variance and for the variance of the coefficient estimators. By deriving the expectation of the initial terms in an expansion of the usual...

In this paper, we propose finite-sample inference procedures for parametric econometric models whose likelihood function is intractable and require simulation-based estimation methods, like indirect inference (Gourieroux, Monfort and Renault, 1993) or the efficient method of moments (Gallant and...

We propose finite sample tests and confidence sets for models with unobserved and generated regressors as well as various models estimated by instrumental variables method. We study two distinct approaches for various models considered by Pagan (1984). The first one is an instrument substitution...

In this paper, we study the invariance properties of various test criteria which have been proposed for hypothesis testing in the context of incompletely specified models, such as models which are formulated in terms of estimating functions (Godambe, 1960) moment conditions and are estimated by...
