We consider the semiparametric regression Xtβ + φ (Z) where β and φ(.) are unknown slope coefficient vector and function, and where the variables (X, Z) are endogeneous. We propose necessary and sufficient conditions for the identification of the parameters in the presence of instrumental...

A general estimation approach combining the attractive features of method of moments with the efficiency of ML is proposed. The moment conditions are computed via the characteristic function. The two major difficulties with the implementation is that one needs to use an infinite set of moment...
