This paper considers GMM estimation of autoregressive processes. It is shown that, contrary to the case where the noise is independent (see Kim, Qian and Schmidt (1999)), using high-order moments can provide substantial efficiency gains for estimating the AR(p) model when the noise is only...

We present an estimation procedure for continuous time models based on discrete sampled data with a fixed unit of time between two observations. Since in general the conditional likelihood of the model cannot be derived an indirect inference procedure based on simulations of a discretized model...

The recent financial literature has been much concerned with the short-term interest rate. Several models have been proposed and studied quite extensively. Despite the number of models, relatively little is known about their empirical comparison. A first approach of this problem is proposed in...
