bootstrap methods. Specifically, since standard wild bootstrap procedures deliver inconsistent inference, we propose a local … Gaussian (LG) bootstrap, establish its first‐order asymptotic validity, and use Edgeworth expansions to show that the LG … bootstrap inference achieves second‐order asymptotic refinements. Moreover, we provide new Laplace transform‐based estimators of …
