We describe characteristics of various risk measures (Value-at-Risk, Expected Shortfall, etc.) that are used to analyze … and quantify the tail risk exposure, and discuss their relative strengths and weaknesses. Emphasis is placed on presenting … and comparing methodologies to compute and backtest estimates for these risk measures, from a practical perspective. We …

Model-selection uncertainty corresponds to the uncertainty about the true lag order of the autoregressive process that should be picked. This paper shows that all model-selection criteria perform poorly in small samples. Model-selection uncertainty adds to the bias and variability in the...

This paper is concerned with developing uniform confidence bands for functions estimated nonparametrically with instrumental variables. We show that a sieve nonparametric instrumental variables estimator is pointwise asymptotically normally mental variables estimator is pointwise asymptotically...

This paper reviews the main identification and estimation strategies for microeconomic policy evaluation. Particular emphasis is laid on evaluating policies consisting of multiple programmes, which is of high relevance in practice. For example, active labour market policies may consist of...

This paper considers the estimation problem of structural models for which empirical restrictions are characterized by a fixed point constraint, such as structural dynamic discrete choice models or models of dynamic games. We analyze the conditions under which the nested pseudo-likelihood (NPL)...

Matching estimators are widely used in statistical data analysis. However, the distribution of matching estimators has … matching estimators. This representation allows the use of martingale limit theorems to derive the asymptotic distribution of … matching estimators. As an illustration of the applicability of the theory, we derive the asymptotic distribution of a matching …

Generalized single-index models are natural extensions of linear models and circumvent the so-called curse of dimensionality. They are becoming increasingly popular in many scientific fields including biostatistics, medicine, economics and financial econometrics. Estimating and testing the model...
