Inference on partially identified models plays an important role in econometrics. This paper proposes novel Bayesian procedures for these models when the identified set is closed and convex and so is completely characterized by its support function. We shed new light on the connection between...

Bayesian partially identified models have received a growing attention in recent years in the econometric literature, due to their broad applications in empirical studies. Classical Bayesian approach in this literature has been assuming a parametric model, by specifying an ad-hoc parametric...

Most papers on high-dimensional statistics are based on the assumption that none of the regressors are correlated with the regression error, namely, they are exogenous. Yet, endogeneity arises easily in high-dimensional regression due to a large pool of regressors and this causes the...

Estimating and assessing the risk of a large portfolio is an important topic in financial econometrics and risk management. The risk is often estimated by a substitution of a good estimator of the volatility matrix. However, the accuracy of such a risk estimator for large portfolios is largely...

We study the estimation of a high dimensional approximate factor model in the presence of both cross sectional dependence and heteroskedasticity. The classical method of principal components analysis (PCA) does not efficiently estimate the factor loadings or common factors because it essentially...

This paper deals with estimation of high-dimensional covariance with a conditional sparsity structure, which is the composition of a low-rank matrix plus a sparse matrix. By assuming sparse error covariance matrix in a multi-factor model, we allow the presence of the cross-sectional correlation...

This paper addresses the estimation of the nonparametric conditional moment restricted model that involves an infinite-dimensional parameter g0. We estimate it in a quasi-Bayesian way, based on the limited information likelihood, and investigate the impact of three types of priors on the...

This paper addresses the problem of estimation of a nonparametric regression function from selectively observed data when selection is endogenous. Our approach relies on independence between covariates and selection conditionally on potential outcomes. Endogeneity of regressors is also allowed...
