Least Squares Estimation in Nonstationary Nonlinear Cohort Panels with Learning from Experience
经验学习下非平稳非线性队列面板的最小二乘估计
We discuss techniques of estimation and inference for nonstationary nonlinear cohort panels with learning from experience, showing, inter alia, the consistency and asymptotic normality of the nonlinear least squares estimator used in empirical practice. Potential pitfalls for hypothesis testing are identified and solutions proposed. Monte Carlo simulations verify the properties of the estimator and corresponding test statistics in finite samples, while an application to a…
