Employing power kernels suggested in earlier work by the authors (2003), this paper shows how to refine methods of robust inference on the mean in a time series that rely on families of untruncated kernel estimates of the long-run parameters. The new methods improve the size properties of...

In this paper we describe how quantile regression can be used to evaluate the impact of treatment on the entire distribution of outcomes, when the treatment is endogenous or selected in relation to potential outcomes. We describe an instrumental variable quantile regression process and the set...

This paper formulates dynamic density functions, based upon skewed-t and similar representations, to model and forecast electricity price spreads between different hours of the day. This supports an optimal day ahead storage and discharge schedule, and thereby facilitates a bidding strategy for...

This paper develops the idea of renewal time sampling, a novel sampling scheme constructed from stopping times of semimartingales. Based on this new sampling scheme we propose a class of volatility estimators named renewal based volatility estimators. In this paper we show that: (1) The spot...

This paper studies fractional processes that may be perturbed by weakly dependent time series. The model for a perturbed fractional process has a components framework in which there may be components of both long and short memory. All commonly used estimates of the long memory parameter (such as...

A wide variety of important distributional hypotheses can be assessed using the empirical quantile regression processes. In this paper, a very simple and practical resampling test is offered as an alternative to inference based on Khmaladzation, as developed in Koenker and Xiao (2002). This...

This paper studies a model widely used in the weak instruments literature and establishes admissibility of the weighted average power likelihood ratio tests recently derived by Andrews, Moreira, and Stock (2004). The class of tests covered by this admissibility result contains the Anderson and...

The paper develops estimation and inference methods for econometric models with partial identification, focusing on models defined by moment inequalities and equalities. Main applications of this framework include analysis of game-theoretic models, regression with missing and mismeasured data,...
