This paper studies weak exogeneity of conditioning variables for the inference of a subset of parameters of the conditional student's t and elliptical linear regression models considered by Spanos (1994). Weak exogeneity of the conditioning variables is shown to hold for the inference of...

Effect of nonnormality on the asymptotic property of three estimators of a single structural equation with structural change is examined. The three estimators are the limited information maximum likelihood estimator, derived under normality and equality of structural variances in different...

Estimation of a single structural equation when there exists structural change is considered. Equality of structural variances in different samples is shown to affect the identification condition and asymptotic efficiency of best asymptotically normal estimators when the reduced-form covariance...
