In this note it is shown that the expectation of the usual MLE estimator of the mean-reversion parameter in linear diffusion models does not exist. However, the moment does exist conditionally on the estimator of the autoregressive parameter in the discretized model being positive

The purpose of this paper is to examine production decisions under output price uncertainty. Using a nonparametric estimation technique to estimate the first four moments of the unknown price distribution and applying duality, we provide a simple empirical framework for the analysis of supply...

This paper proposes feasible nonparametric random effects estimators. Specifically, we propose feasible versions of the two estimators in Lin and Carroll (2000) and a modified version of the random effects estimator in Ullah and Roy (1998). Further, the consistency properties of these estimators...

In this paper we develop nonparametric estimators of the joint time series data generating process (DGP) of (<italic>x</italic>, <italic>y</italic>) at different <italic>t</italic>-values, of conditional DGP, of the conditional mean of <italic>x</italic> given the past values of <italic>x</italic> and <italic>y</italic>, and, more generally, the conditional mean of (<italic>x</italic>, <italic>y</italic>) given their past values...
