This paper develops an asymptotic theory for R-estimation based on a square-integrable, not necessarily bounded, score function in the pth order stationary autoregressive model. Asymptotic uniform linearity of a class of linear rank statistics is established and the asymptotic normality of the...

A Central Limit Theorem for a triangular array of row-wise independent Hilbert-valued random elements with finite second moment is proved under mild convergence requirements on the covariances of the row sums and the Lindeberg condition along the evaluations at an orthonormal basis. A Central...

In this paper, we discuss an asymptotic distributional theory of three broad classes of robust estimators of the regression parameter namely, L-, M- and R-estimators in a linear regression model when the errors are generated by an exponentially subordinated strongly dependent process. The...

Purpose: This paper examines the effects of limiting the number of loans a bank can issue, reflecting a policy recently implemented by the US Federal Reserve. Design/methodology/approach: This paper does so in a streamlined model of the banking sector. Findings: This paper finds that a binding...
