This paper studies the two-step sieve M estimation of general semi/nonparametric models, where the second step involves sieve estimation of unknown functions that may use the nonparametric estimates from the first step as inputs, and the parameters of interest are functionals of unknown...

This paper analyzes the second order bias of instrumental variables estimators for a dynamic panel model with fixed … effects. Three different methods of second order bias correction are considered. Simulation experiments show that these … is approximately achieving the minimal bias in a certain class of instrumental variables (IV) estimators. Simulation …

In this note, we characterize the semiparametric efficiency bound for a class of semiparametric models in which the unknown nuisance functions are identified via nonparametric conditional moment restrictions with possibly non-nested or over-lapping conditioning sets, and the finite dimensional...

Many structural economics models are semiparametric ones in which the unknown nuisance functions are identified via nonparametric conditional moment restrictions with possibly nonnested or overlapping conditioning sets, and the finite dimensional parameters of interest are over-identified via...
