In this paper we introduce the Extended Method of Moments (XMM) estimator. This estimator accommodates a more general set of moment restrictions than the standard Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. More specifically, the XMM differs from the GMM in that it can handle not only uniform...

In this paper we consider an incomplete market framework and explain how to use jointly observed prices of the underlying asset and of some deriv- atives written on this asset for an efficient pricing of other derivatives. This question involves two types of moment restrictions, which can be...

We derive asymptotic properties of estimators and test statistics to determine—in a grouped data setting—common versus group‐specific factors. Despite the fact that our test statistic for the number of common factors, under the null, involves a parameter at the boundary (related to unit...
