This paper analyzes conditions under which various k-class estimators are asymptotically normal in a simultaneous equations framework with many weak instruments. In particular, our paper extends the many instruments asymptotic normality results obtained by Morimune (1983), Bekker (1994), Angrist...

This paper develops Wald-type tests for general (possibly nonlinear) restrictions in the context of a weakly-identified heteroskedastic IV regression. In particular, it is first shown that, in a framework with many weak instruments, consistency and asymptotic normality can be obtained when...

This paper analyzes conditions under which various single-equation estimators are asymptotically normal in a simultaneous equations framework with many weak instruments. In particular, our paper adds to the many instruments asymptotic normality literature, including papers by Morimune (1983),...

The main objective of this paper is to propose a feasible, model free estimator of the predictive density of integrated volatility. In this sense, we extend recent papers by Andersen et a]. [Andersen, T.G., Bollerslev,T., Diebold, FX, Labys, P., 2003. Modelling and forecasting realized...

This article makes two contributions. First, we outline a simple simulation-based framework for constructing conditional distributions for multifactor and multidimensional diffusion processes, for the case where the functional form of the conditional density is unknown. The distributions can be...
